I don't really know a lot about the differences of type 2. Yeh I had shooting pains like what you're describing, I still get the odd one maybe one time in a month on one foot. They were a lot more constant than that before, even up to a year ago. It took over 18 months see progression that was...

My feet were numb. The skin on my feet is wrinkled from the sweating due to the neuropathy. I've cleaned it up a bit with some cream but it's aged more than the rest of my body. Obviously the blood sugars had to be bang on as well but it took a long time. It's really been the last 3 months that...

I was probably one of the most unstable diabetics, but I opted for hypo's instead of hyperglycemia so I lost hypo awareness and things like that. I ran low too much which might have saved me, I did have some of my earlier years running high. My average for the last 90 days of my libre is 79%...

I also don't come here a lot, I just thought I'd let anyone know that might find it useful as I've never got a straight answer from anyone about what and wasn't possible I just took a risk and kept to it for 3-4 years straight. I also had my bloods between 4-8mmol for 80% of the time pretty much...

Hi peeps, I did a post in here before about neuropathy and I just wanted to do a follow post on it. I have completely reverse neuropathy so what they tell you about it's not reversible is untrue. I've had diabetes 22 years, I smoked for 17 of it, I didn't do a blood test for about 5 years in a...

And for anyone wondering, it took about 6 months to get to a level where I could feel a difference in my body, it's not overnight. You have to commit to it seriously. Like I'm about to go to the gym now at 11pm to do some but I live 5 minutes from a gym so it's easy for me and it's 24 hours. And...

Yeh I have a pen that measures them, but when they switched my insulin they put me on pre filled pens and I tried to get off them onto cartirdges but with Covid no one was doing anything really so I just made do with this. Might still try switch over. Or when you set a unit you could pull the...

I just looked up every vitamin that encourages nerve regrowth and improves blood circulation and did it every day with exercise for 18 months. And I haven't stopped at all, like you have to keep going relentlessly.

Sent you a message. :)

I get all my prescription on the NHS I'm British, so I'm lucky that way. Feel sorry for any Americans, that is brutal, I dunno what I'd do in that scenario. Think about that tbf, there was some film on Netflix with a chick that had it and she couldn't afford the insulin and was halving her doses...

I honestly believe the Drs don't even know stuff. Like I didn't even know about a biphasic insulin curve, no one told me that in 19 years which means I was doing my insulin wrong for 19 years. Now I just do my own research and do things with natural vitamins and plants, and as long as I have...

I used to get in the bath, when it was at it's worst and shower my feet with hot water to warm them up. Then I'd get out and 30 mins later they'd be cold again. So I can only tell people what I've experienced, and this to me is like the thing they never tell you because logically it was the only...

Cause before that, it actually felt like I had tiny stilts on the end of my ankles, like my feet were started to feel like they weren't on my legs. And now they're virtually back to normal, so when it says you can't reverse neuropathy, I'm not so sure that's true. Like all the pain stabs I was...
