My eyes has been twitching for the past few days, is this related to diabetes? i do have diabetes and my sugar levels could be higher than when i last saw the doctor. is this sort of a sign for me to eat less sugar since my eye is twitching? thank u?

From your description, hard to be precise. Perhaps you have orbital myokymia or even blepharospasm. Best to visualize and react accordingly. Either see an ophthalmologist or get a virtual consult here at HT (www.connect@healthtap.com)
