First thing: these are questions for your *doctor* and your local health team, not for random newsgroups. But I guarantee that as you get your diabetes under control, you will feel better: more energy, more alertness, etc. And the diabetes itself may have been encouraging the weight gain: apparently the onset of Type 2 diabetes can cause quite a bit of hunger, well beyond that needed to replace that lost to the inefficiencies of a diabetic body. Also, your blood glucose certainly affects your focal length: I find that I can tell my blood sugar has dropped really low by how fuzzy print looks when I'm wearing my correctly prescribed glasses, and I always try to get my glasses prescription with my blood glucose at absolute normal. I'm *guessing* that you're a Type 2: Type 1 onset is usually faster, and it makes a lot of differences in how you deal with things. A Type 2 on no medication, for example, is not likely to experience hypoglycemia: a Type 1 is *always* given insulin, there's just no other way to treat it, and is thus at risk of goofing and making their blood sugar *too* low, which is when I for example get the shakes or get very cranky and my reflexes are off.
