Guide To The Symptoms Of Diabetes In Children

Blurred Vision

High blood sugar causes the body to remove fluid from various tissues, and one of the places the body may get fluid is the lenses of the eyes. This can cause a child to be unable to focus on objects. Blurry vision might occur in both eyes or just one. Some patients experience it frequently, while others only experience it once in a while. Parents should always take their child to see a doctor or ophthalmologist if they experience unusually blurred vision, especially blurred vision that comes and goes suddenly. High blood sugar levels can cause lens swelling. The blurring caused by this is temporary. If a child's blood sugar is very low, their vision might also blur. Typically, vision returns to normal when blood sugar levels have been stabilized. Frequent fluctuations in blood sugar can cause vision to improve and worsen frequently.
