I'ver had to use readers since my early 40s but that runs in my family
on both sides. My firsat heart attack did make me lose a tiny bit of
vision in my left eye but it's at 20/25. What has changed a lot is my
need for prisms. The good thing is even with the diabetic neuropathy
getting worse, it's not affecting my vision much right now.

My biggest issue right now is sticking to a schedule for both eating and
medication. I've proven I can do it; I just need to keep doing it.
There is some good news in all of this: my A1C is the lowest it's been
since 2015.
