7. Blurred Vision
Blurred vision is a common ocular symptom that is characterized by impaired visual clarity. Essentially, your vision becomes less precise, and focusing on fine details will be become more difficult. Moreover, some people might even describe it as an opaque filter is placed over their eyes. Blurred vision can be a symptom of prediabetes and diabetes; however, it can also be caused by other medical conditions.
In prediabetes, blurred vision can be caused by high glucose levels in the blood, especially after high-carbohydrate meals. It has a sudden onset and it is generally a temporary symptom. The lens of the eye can become swollen in response to high blood glucose, which draws fluids into the lens. Thus, the ability of the lens to change its shape is impaired (accommodation), causing blurred vision.
