Diabetes: These little-known symptoms should put you on alert

Visual fluctuations: a deceptive paradox

Contrary to expectations, diabetes can sometimes induce a  temporary improvement in vision . This surprising mechanism results from glycemic fluctuations that alter the osmotic balance  of the ocular environment, thus modifying the refraction of the lens. The consequence: visual perception that seems to sharpen spontaneously, before deteriorating again.

This apparent improvement actually masks a worrying metabolic instability. Whether vision fluctuates in one direction or the other, regular monitoring by an  ophthalmologist  is essential to detect any potential diabetic complications.
