Brief Answer:
It could be vitreous degeneration or a vitreous hemorrhage

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for your question. Are you taking metformin for diabetes is what I want to know dear . Seeing a smoky cloud in front of the eye means there is a problem in the vitreoretinal part aka the black of the eye so you should get it checked throughly by a retina specialist under pupillary dilatation. It could be vitreous degeneration or even a hemorrhage which is common in patients with high blood pressure and diabetes and needs to be treated with laser or surgery .So you should get it checked up soon. Hope my answer helps you.Regards
