I had no noticeable symptoms upon diagnosis. Quickly dropped my blood sugar back to normal levels with LCHF diet. I had some blurry vision for about a week to ten days as levels dropped. That all corrected. The strange one for me was foot pain starting about 6 weeks after diagnosis. I...

I do. Just like you, I sometimes wake up with one hand numb and rarely both. It goes away when I change positions. Probably just the way you have your wrist bent when you sleep.

My pain in my feet started 6 weeks AFTER lowering my blood sugar levels to normal levels. Didn't have pain at diagnosis. It's like my feet are actually overly sensitive. It's been 20 months. Progress has been slow, but I feel like I am a little better each month.

I take Epsom salt baths regularly. Never thought of it as having any effect on blood sugar.

Bumping to the top. Hoping more will weigh in!

Has anyone taken aloe vera as a supplement? Supposedly has some blood sugar control benefits. Just curious if anyone has tried it.

I had the monofilament test and passed it with ease. Blood pressure to feet also good. Yet I still have the burning pain. No numbness or pins and needles.

BaliRob Sorry to hear you are still struggling with this. I too am still looking for answers. I have had the burning in my feet for 18 months now. It varies in intensity. Some days/nights are bad. Other times I hardly notice it. I fell off the low carb wagon this holiday season. I plan...

It's hard to say. Is it in both feet? For me, I had a burning pain in both feet that came on pretty much overnight AFTER lowering my blood sugar to normal range about 6 weeks following diagnosis. 18 months later, and it still bothers me. It varies in intensity. I never had the numbness, or...

My point is still valid. I know some T2s that aren't willing to change their diet. You, however, aren't one of them. Neither am I. In fact, most here don't fit that category since most here are indeed making changes and doing their best.

Two reasons would be my guess. Some T2s aren't willing to change their diet.....therefore they need more insulin to bring blood sugar numbers down. Second reason would be even though T2 and insulin resistant, perhaps they have been diabetic for a long time and their pancreas doesn't produce...

Bringing up an old thread. My feet gradually got better over the course of about 16 months. This week, it has flared back up for some reason. The only thing I can think of that is different is I started taking CBD oil about two weeks ago. Could it have an opposite effect? Anyway, its been a...

Amazing results!! Its been 18 months for me since diagnosis. Normal A1C levels for 15 months now. Despite that, my morning fasting glucose is still a little higher than I would like. My mid afternoon fasting number (right before dinner) is almost always lower than morning fasting number.

Diagnosed at age 47 by a routine panel of blood tests. No symptoms at diagnosis.

Glad to hear you got better. Mine has been a roller coaster. Seems like I am getting better, and then something triggers it. Blood sugar has stayed pretty stable.

Thank you for the advice!

Ice socks! That sounds great right about now.

This describes it well. How long did it take to see significant progress? Did you do anything in particular that helped?

I was diagnosed about 18 months ago. No noticeable symptoms at diagnosis. Went low carb and quickly lowered my numbers into a non-diabetic A1C range within a few months. About 6 weeks in to it, I had an acute onset of burning type pain in my feet. It just showed up one day. No numbness...

Nice! How long did you have the twitching prior to taking the CBD?
