Is it out of the questions that my eye problems have been because of my recent diagnosis of diabetes?

No: If sugars were quite elevated, it can cause lens swelling, blurred vision see ophthamologist.

Depends: On what eye problems you are having. Ask a more specific question, like "is my blurred vision due to diabetes?".
