    Diabetic neuropathy

    Hi @sue1309, This is purely anecdotal and may be due to other factors reducing blood sugars, exercise, etc ... That said I am using a EMS mat for my feet seems to have lessened the stabbing pins and needles sensations. I have gone from multiple times every day to occasionally through the week...

    Chocolate

    Hi @angeladalton CRAVEING chocolate could be exactly that. Some theories suggest that the body may crave chocolate due to a potential deficiency in nutrients like magnesium, which is abundant in dark chocolate and plays a role in stabilizing mood. Even iron deficiency can create cravings for...

    "the time has come" the walrus said "to talk of many things..."

    An argument could be made that education is primarily there to teach the masses just enough to enter the work force. Conformity is paramount in such a system. Traditionally society places its highest value on Gardner linguistic and logical-mathematical modalities and seeks only to further the...

    Not so sure I put to much faith in IQ scoring. Last time I was tested for anything, dyslexia, I was given an IQ rating of below average intelligence. I have 2 degrees. :meh: :bag:

    Sore legs

    Ha @Geoff_Woolman like you I have read dehydration can cause you issues. I would have to ask how longs its been going on for and are you drinking enough to make you think its not dehydration? It does not sound like Neuropathy if that's what your worried about. ;) (obviously only a Dr can...

    Hi @AloeSvea , as Bob Hoskins used to say " its good to talk." One aspect of neuropathy is for me oversensitivity to touch even even doing nothing, the back of my hands and arms can feel very antsy, feels like my skin is crawling. Its worse in the evening and can be constant. This is purely...

    Why is there virtually ZERO interest by supermarkets in UK in selling LOW CARB foods?

    Got to assume that's a typo @Lamont D. I agree with you completely eat and cook fresh food. :bag:

    Why is there virtually ZERO interest by supermarkets in UK in selling LOW CARB foods?

    Arrrrrr retrogradation tis a complex form of sorcery. :jimlad: Chilling cooked carbs over night, changing the carbs to resistant starches, can lower GI and calories promoting weight loss in some. (reports vary) However some reports say chewing this food undoes all this. I'd always heard...

    Taking this back to the OP's issue of lower carb potatoes, there is a form of ancient sorcery the retrogradation spell, which transforms a regular potato into a low carb potato. (works on other carbs too) Cook then and put them in the fridge over night. Reduces carbs and calories. :bookworm...

    New to diabetes

    Hi @Alexdj for me I found the old ways are the best. Are you clothes looser, can you tighten you belt an other notch. Is the mirror looking more attractive. If you are heading in the right direction with lower blood sugar levels you should be seeing these physical signs. There is a lot of...

    Quadrophenia.

    Quadrophenia.

    Mabey the title was the problem this thread got very few views. I don't think anyone disagrees with the sentiment This post seemed to disappear like "tears in the rain". :sorry: :bag:

    "the time has come" the walrus said "to talk of many things..."

    I live with it. Suffers is the right word. In ever sense of the word. No derailment here, "to talk of many things... of shoes, and ships, and celling wax, and cabbages and kings …." @Melgar you have an informed and compassionate understanding of ASD and how it impacts of people social and...
