For the past several years when my blood sugar goes low I've been
seeing spots in my vision. It's similar to looking at a bright light
and then looking away. I've heard of other diabetics experiencing the
same thing.

For the past three days I've been experiencing this spotty vision no
matter what my blood sugar is. The ophthalmologist did a series of
tests and could not find anything wrong. My A1C is 6.8 and my ranges
are usually between 90 - 160. My post meal highs go anywhere from 180
to 250. Could someone explain what is physiologically happening with
the eyes for spotty vision?

thanks

I have the same problem when ever I eat or drink any thing containing
Aspartame. If you are consuming anything that contains Aspartame, stop
using
it for two or three days and see if your vision improves. My
ophthalmologist
tells me he has a number of patients with the same problem.

Now that's a new one. No further comment - I'll sit on the
sidelines and watch this one:-)

Have fun, Freckles.

What's new about it?

My very first posting to this newsgroup, about one year ago, was due to this
problem and there were over 50 replies.

The poster has a problem with his vision and your only response is you will
"sit on the sidelines and watch."

Watch what? Watch him slowly go blind? His problem may not be due to
Aspartame, and again maybe it is. For his sake I hope it is because that
would be the simplest problem to solve, just stop using it.

I have been under the assumption this was supposed to be a support group for
diabetics. I didn't know it was created just for your entertainment.
