I've been put on empagliflozin, I've only taken 3,my leg muscles feel like cramping after a few steps anyone else have this symptom?

i have very little blood to my feet,which stops if i walk maybe that affects the neuropathy,anyway since i stopped eating the neuropathy is much less

gp given me nothing in 5 yrs

oh i gave up a long time ago,cant walk ,arms are useless cant sleep cos of neuropathy.what a life

nope,told the wife i aint driving anymore she will have to get a bus or walk,the car can rot in garage,hospital talk a load of old balls think i am some kind of idiot,well they can poke their appointment no point in it anyway

i dont need any help,hospital are useless so is gp,veins look like knotts everywhere just a matter of time

i reckon to die would be the best answer

48 hours now and im ok with it,asked the hospital to amputate my legs but they wouldn't do it

this seems to be the only way to lessen the neuropathy,all i want to do now is die really

oh in the end game now,meant 2 be going to hospital in january,dont think i'll bother though its a lost cause,now if they would amputate my legs and left arm maybe.get burning in my arms and legs eating dry toast so i dont see the point,neuropathy at nite is a pain and thats putting it mildly

i'm sick of diabetes cant see the point in eating myself,so i'm going 2 just have some porridge in morning and half a slice of toast at night.i'm on metformin and the neuropathy is driving me insane along with peripheral vascular disease

the pain and burning is probably neuropathy,i would suggest eating last meal quite early and then go for a walk for about 20-30mins about 2 hours after eating and do not eat any snacks later.i have burning in my feet at night and it does help me.try to keep away from carbohydrates ie potatoes,bread

depends when you done the test,was it just after eating?within 2-3 hours as you would need to test more often to get an average.i tried a meter for a while but the readings made me depressed so i stopped using it and when i had my 3monthly bg levels checked my average was 6

those levels are not that bad,if you drive for your employer you will need to inform them and dvla and your insurance company if you have a car.cut out snacks between meals and try to walik for 10-15 mins between meals and after dinner.cut out sugar in tea coffee and on cereals;worst of all try...

last hb test 6,but i still get burning in my feet at night,it seems like my bs levels are rising long after meals about 6 hours after dinner;if i skip dinner my feet seem better at night.my question is does the bg level keep rising for hours or are my nerves just hypersensitive
