[QUOTE="Dobbs, post: 84792, member: 18601"] hi JohnnyAngel57, a personal story... I'm T2 and was having all kinds of pains and aches in the earlier part of this year and felt generally lousy much of the time. Now I've hardly any pains any more. Know what made the difference? Going onto a strict low-carb diet and starting to test my own levels several times a day. That's all. No other medications. Basically, high levels (anything above 8, basically) cause you all sorts of problems, so getting them down and keeping them down is the most urgent way to improve your health. Without kidding, after only a couple of weeks of low-carbing I already felt a difference, and things have continued to improve. Now my morning fasting levels tend to be around 6.1, whereas when I was diagnosed they were 17.6! For pains in the feet (which in my case are still not completely gone) I recommend a vitamin supplement called alpha lipoic acid, 200mg three times a day, plus another, GLA (evening primrose oil), 300mg three times a day. It's expensive but has really helped me. Dr Richard Bernstein recommends this and I have a great deal of faith in him. Good luck - and believe me, things *can* get better. [/QUOTE]
