In November of last year I was diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet I already suffer with urge incontinence which has been getting progressively worse over the last 12 months, I've also experienced some loss of bowel control. The problem is I have severe spinal Osteoporosis with enbd plate fractures at L1,2 and 3. I've also been recently diagnosed with Spinal stenosis at l4 and 5. I am due to see a diabetologist next week and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for questions to ask.

thanks.

Hi @kelvin45 sounds like you're up against it with non-diabetes conditions like I and some others in the forum are.

I try to keep it simple and have defined BG control targets to aim for, and ask my different specialists what they can do to contribute to meeting those goals.

Are you up to date with your lab blood tests, and do you test your BG at home?
