Symptom 6: Blurred Vision – When Your Sight Becomes Unclear
Low blood sugar can also cause blurred vision or difficulty focusing on objects, both near and far. This occurs when the brain, which controls vision, doesn’t receive enough glucose to function optimally. Blurred vision can be disorienting and potentially dangerous, especially when driving or operating machinery.
If you experience blurred vision due to low blood sugar, avoid activities that require clear vision until your blood sugar levels have returned to normal. Check your blood sugar levels and consume a source of carbohydrates to help raise them.
To prevent blurred vision related to low blood sugar, monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations for managing your blood sugar. Additionally, make sure to have regular eye exams, as changes in vision can also be a sign of other eye-related conditions. (6)
