There is a condition known as diabetic pruritis. Insanely itchy skin for no obvious reason. Its another complication that can occur with diabetes. Perhaps it might be this, just a suggestion. Edited for clarity.

Todays Daily Telegraph reports that Tamara Lucas wrote in the UK's The Lancet "Strong evidence indicates that food production is among the largest drivers of global environmental change by contributing to climate change" The reports chief author Tamra wants people to drastically cut back on...

Thank you for posting up the work of Dr Cywes. I live in a town that has many addictions, I see thecresults if them. Looking at carbs as another addiction makes a lot of sense Thank you for these wonderful podcasts. Dr Cywes' explanations finally makes sense linking obesity to carb...

Ok. Thanks. Rereading my post I feel a bit like a zeitgeist nutter. But this IS how it starts!!!!!

The acknowledgement page tells you that wbcsd is a business funded by about 200 big corps to prepare them for a Vegan world; its about making big companies getting ready for the Vegan future. I imagine part of its job is to inform the masses about how wonderful it will be in the future to have...

When I finished doing the business the bowel looked like a chainsaw massacre had been through. Was a liitle distressing at first. Found peroneal, clench tight exercises helped significantly. I do them immidiately after and before wiping, and while in the shower while washing my hair (no bowel...

What kind of blood are we talking here. Is it clotted blood in/on the stool or do you bleed after passing your motion? Often fresh blood after a stool is a small fissure that gets reinjured during the bowel movement. Concentrating on peroneal contractions after the motion can help there. Clotted...

In a past life I was a laboratory manager in a soil testing lab. Every couple of years Australian Standars sent out test samples to a whole bunch of labs to check for inter laboratory accuracy. Well I can tell you it was not unusual for results to be out by a factors of 2 and higher. There was...

It sounds like pitting oedema. There are many reasons for it and some are very serious medical conditions. If it were me I would get it checked out by a doctor.

Dont forget to stretch those muscles after exercising as you can develop imbalances. Muscle tightness or a tone imbalance can cause all sorts of muscle aches. Ones to target are hamstrings, calves and hip flexors.

Hypertension can be a result of insulin resistance and high insulin levels. Insilin prevents kidneys from excreting salt. Blood pressure rises as a consequence.

Strange feelings and sensations in feet can be signs of peripheral neuropathy, but they usually occur in both feet. If its one sided it may be some other kind of nerve injury such as an impingement, like tarsal tunnel syndrom. It may be something altogether different so worthwhile pursuing, dont...

This stuff is just lazy journalism to fill the void during Trumps Christmas vacation. It neatly sidesteps the real and existing problems of over population and climate change. To get cancer from bacon you need the genetic susceptibility , a corn passage time of 2weeks and a consumption of 5kg...

Grass fed beef has a better omega 3:6 balance than grain fed beef. Sad thing is, any human activity is bad for the environment. There is less bad like grass fed beef using cell farming, or really bad like feed lots using corn and soya bean for feed as is done in the USA.

This has been an interesting thread and an interesting read. But I cant help but think maybe there is an element of treatment induced neuropathy, which is different from regular diabetic PN. Maybe someone with more knowledge about it may shed some information. Not a diagnosis; but your symptoms...

Extreme sensitivity to even the slightest touch is a known symptom of PN.

I think neuropathy is a little more complex than just damage to the capillaries that feed the nerve. Causes of neuropathy are not well understood but there is connection to high blood sugars and length of diabetes (glycosilation would be the main cause here); genetics plays a big part and...

Sorry to hear of your experience. I feel frustrated just reading your story. My thoughts of support are with you; keep fighting.

My partner (she objected to being objectified as wife) really enjoys making her bread, but she is not as adventurous as you. Your bread sounds delish!

Yes, most certainly.
