hi
I have had type 2 diabetes for 10 years plus, over the past three years I have some complications due to high blood sugar levels and been suffering from chronic neuropathic pain in my legs and feet Some days I can hardly walk because it feels like I am walking through lava, I am on a concoction of meds to help control it, but the side effects make me feel tired all the time and going to the toilet all the time
Now with all the meds, I am taking and a strict low carb diet my blood sugars at a low was about 9.5 and peeking around 13 to 14 throughout the day and am still having complications with neuropathic pain.
The advice I have been given is to lower my blood sugar levels and the pain will begin to go. I have been at my lowest because of not being able to sleep at night because of one thing and another and been feeling really depressed because of it
Now until recently, I haven't smoked since I was diagnosed with diabetes which is like over 10 years. I started smoking because someone gave me a joint with marijuana in it, and this seemed to get rid of the pain almost instantly so now I have the occasional joint at night to try and help me sleep.
Now what I have noticed over the past few weeks is my blood sugars appear normal with my lowest around 5.5 to 6 and peeking around 7.5 and the only thing different I am doing is occasionally smoking weed.
my problem is I have started smoking again which is something I don't want to do because that is just going to add to my problems. I started smoking again out of sheer desperation for some sort of relief and someone offered me cannabis. I have found this was dramatically helping my blood sugars and giving me better pain relief than all the meds I am taking, I know you can ingest it by putting it in cakes and stuff like that but that's not going to help me lose weight. I also know it is illegal and I shouldn't be doing it, Is there an alternative available for medical use that will alleviate my problem, and be as effective.
thanks
