FWIW - a rapid change in your vision may be a symptom. That was my major
one. A change in BG levels causes a change in the shape of the eye's lens.

Oddly enough, when my sugar levels were high years ago, I went for new
glasses and found my myopia had actually improved. When my sugars
were back under control, I had to go back and get a stronger
prescription.

I don't know what you consider 'odd' about it. Before I was diagnosed, my
vision changed rapidly. All my adult life my focus range had been from 3
or 4 feet to infinity. Suddenly I was reading the newspaper without
glasses. After diagnosis, I normalized quickly - vision shifted the other
way for a couple of weeks - I need correction to see anything - even the
highway signs. Completely normalized in a few weeks and back to normal. It
all has to do, as the eye doc explained, with your body adjusting to
different BG levels - changes the shape of the lens.

Ray, I thought I just needed a new prescription and then I was told I
had diabetes. The eye doctor told me to come back in a couple of months
after I had control over the diabetes. It took longer than that, When I
got control, I didnt need a change in prescriptions.

I had that in the space of a few hours yesterday - it was retinopathy
check day, and the eye drops changed the focal length so that I could
read the signs on the wall 2 rooms away without glasses, nothing at
all with my distance glasses, but my reading glasses still worked for
closeup. Stayed that way for about 6 hours! Made me think about laser
surgery again.
