[QUOTE="Tim55, post: 868275, member: 186079"] Hi There It was this problem that sent me to see my GP in the first place, almost 12 months ago now. It had developed very slowly but when I began to have trouble fastening my shirt because i couldn't feel the buttons I figured I needed to get it looked at. GP immediately suspected diabetes and sent me for blood tests which confirmed it.- my typical levels back then were 17 to 19. My experiences with NHS was pretty consistent with eeryone else on here and I have been trying for LCHF ever since, and I eat to my meter. I test every morning and before my evening meal and my typical levels are between and 4 and 7.8 which I am generally happy with, last 2 HBa1cs were 5.6 I think, DN was delighted with me! However, while my fingers are working a little better now my feet remain a problem. There is another thread on here, under "complications" I think, which advocates the use of Alpha Lipoic Acid and vitamin B12 suuplements. Since I think the advice I have received from here so far has been good I ordered these yesterday. Let you know if they help me out! . [/QUOTE]
