I go to get antibiotics for that and as always, they run a urine test and came back and told me there was blood in it and ran me thru all sorts of tests.... next thing out of their mouth after telling me I was Diabetic was that I needed to have my heart, kidneys and eyes tested. So I got to go get everything seen about in a hurry, and found out I have to not only start wearing glasses, but I have to stab (that's how it felt anyway) myself 3-5 times a day. I had to change everything literally on the fly.

So, while glasses suck, girl, embrace that, it could be a whole lot worse, trust me, it really could.
