The likelihood and severity of retinopathy increase the longer you have diabetes, and is likely to occur earlier and be more severe if your diabetes is poorly controlled. Almost everyone who has had diabetes for more than 30 years will show signs of diabetic retinopathy.
Please see the webpages on Diabetic retinopathy.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

There are three series of changes that occur with the person who has diabetes: acute changes, intermediate changes, and chronic changes. Acute changes, or complications, are diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome. Intermediate complications are those involving illness, surgery, pregnancy, and travel. Chronic complications involve the nerves (neuropathy), the kidneys (nephropathy), the eyes (retinopathy), and macroangiopathy of the heart and large blood vessels (cardiomyopathy: peripheral, cerebral, and cardiovascular). Chronic complications are noticeable by pain, numbness, inability to see, inability to go to the bathroom, and inability to otherwise function. Retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiomyopathy have association, directly or indirectly, with small blood vessels.
The question is, if your blurry vision is acute (recently) or a chronic one. If it is an acute onset, then I would say you probably are suffering from an acute complication of diabetes which is Diabetic Ketoacidosis. wherein blurriness of vision is connected to glucosuria (glucose in urine). It's treatment is with fluids and insulin.
If you have chronic blurry vision, then you are suffering from retinopathy. Retinopathy may occur in various stages, the earliest of which are more reversible. Stage I involves the formation of a microaneurysm, which is the ballooning of a weak wall of a blood vessel. Microaneurysms may burst and hemorrhage. Exudates, or defined yellow spots, can sometimes be seen on the retina. While these were once thought to be fat or lipid deposits, they have actually been found to be scars from areas of bleeding in the retina. Stage II involves new vessel formation, hemorrhage, and scarring. Once this has occurred, it is not possible to reverse the condition. However, stabilization is possible through laser treatment.
The lens of the eye may also have problems. In the presence of higher glucose levels (blurs vision), the lens can become more translucent than transparent, resulting in the formation of a cataract. The cataract can be easily removed and a new lens transplanted.

So, if I understand this right, you got diagnosed with diabetes, and your vision immediately went blurry, or something like that? Weird!

Well it seems you need to see an ophtalmologist to check your eyes, for blurry vision is related to retina problems due to diabetes. If they are just starting, they can be solved.
The one that wrote you to eat sugar and sugar probably thought you were having an acute hypoglicemia but it doesn't read like you were having it to me.
