Cranial nerve palsies are common in Diabetes
and can lead to double vision.
I will suggest you to control sugar,BP and lipids
stringently.A CT Scan of brain is advised to rule out lacunar infarct.
You should take some antiplatelet like aspirin and
Vit B12 also.
You can also take Deflazacort course, steroid which does not
increase sugar.
It may take upto 6 to 8 weeks time for complete recovery
and can lead to double vision.
