[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 915938, member: 160246"] Thanks Tim55. :) So it sounds like the peripheral neuropathy begins with coldness, then changes to loss of feeling, then changes to pain, in your case within 18 months. That's very helpful. And thanks for pointing out that Metformin depletes vitamin B12. It's a good first line drug for type 2 diabetics, but if I were taking it, I'd want my B12 levels checked regularly, and, in my case, because I don't absorb B vitamins well, I'd definitely take a B12 supplement. I'm not on the nutritional supplements regimen you're on yet, but I am taking a good quality multi vitamin and mineral supplement and B-complex. The swelling in my feet has lessened a lot. Perhaps the pain in the top of my right foot reflects healing in my case too. Will continue to monitor and make adjustments in my nutritional supplement regimen in addition to my daily walks. Got all my lab results back this morning. Not sure what to make of them yet. Some results have improved, others have gone the other direction, and quite dramatically. Will start a new topic and post more on this more tomorrow. For now it's enough to say that my fasting glucose continues to drop and HbA1c is stable. Yay! February..... fasting glucose 282 mg/dL (15.7 mmol/L); HbA1c 9.9% May............. fasting glucose 136 mg/dL (7.6 mmol/L); HbA1c 5.5% August......... fasting glucose 116 mg/dL (6.4 mmol/L); HbA1c 5.4% (Now that I'm under the 125 mg/dL cut off, I now meet all criteria for returning to a pre-diabetic diagnosis). Not where I want to be yet, but s-l-o-w-l-y getting there. Hope you're having a lovely time in Spain. And do keep posting. :) [/QUOTE]
