    Can Retinopathy be caused by improved control?

    I've been Type 1 for almost 25 years now. My control is very good and for the last 18 months my A1c's at 6 monthly intervals have been 5.1%, 5.4% and 5.0%.

    Tender Ball of foot feeling

    Don't know if this is actually Diabetes related or not, fingers crossed it isn't, but someone might have an idea what it could be. Since last Wednesday I have had a bit of a funny feeling on my right foot. It's on the ball of my foot towards my big toe, on the fleshy pad before the big toe...

    Pain while Nerves heal with better control

    Hi, I have a question that I am hoping someone can help me with. I've been Type 1 for 23 years and recently (March '09) I really tightened up on my control. I'll just point out that my control has never been bad it's just that I needed/wanted to improve it. I live in the UK and attended a DAFNE...
