I am sure I have posted before about this, but this is taking over my life. My feet are so painful, especially at night. It is mostly the balls of my feet, and my big toes. I take great care of my feet, and my diabetes specialist says that they are in good condition. But I have tried...

Hi Jammer. You sound like such a sweetie. As someone else said, we girls love lots of kisses and cuddles too, and remember, there are LOTS of other things you can do too to please your girlfriend that do not involve intercourse! Be creative!! Good luck, and don't give up with the doc until...

Thank you everyone, you have been really helpful. Well, I bit the bullet and had them done on Saturday. So far so good. Only problem is that you have to learn to type again!!! WhitbyJet, I have bad neuropathy in my feet. How did you reverse yours? Thanks again Nannoo

Hi Claire. My question was genuine, and I was looking for some help.

Thank you iHs. That was really helpful.

I am asking because diabetics have so many issues that relate to a lack of circulation and getting infections much easier than others. Sorry, but I would have thought that was obvious.

This is such a superficial question with so many people here suffering major problems, but I wanted to ask - I have Type 2 diabetes, Victoza and insulin controlled. Can I have gel nails attached to my own nails, or is this discouraged in diabetics? Thank you.

Thank you everyone. I have taken everything on board, and my new Hotter shoes arrived yesterday!! Drinking more water, moisturising my feet every day, wearing better insoles. Things are much better.

As I said, my feet are in good condition, and I have recently seen a podiatrist. My questions were can anyone recommend a good brand of footwear, and is there a cream on the market for painful feet. Thank you.

Hi all. I take really good care of my feet and was praised by a podiatrist recently. However, I am always in pain. The balls of my feet feel always like I have just done a 10 mile hike, and my toes hurt so much. If I don't soak them before bed and massage them, they wake me up in the night...

What causes these dreadful foot itches that just don't respond to normal scratching, that seem to be really deep? I have one now and it is driving me mad.

Hi all. I have finally managed to get my BG levels down to between 5 and 10 nearly all the time. However, because they are now in this range, occasionally I go too low and have a hypo. I get hypos around once a week. Recently the symptoms have changed - I used to experience the same pattern...

Hi all. I have neuropathy in my feet, not badly, but the balls of my feet burn constantly and I get occasional pains in my toes. Is there a make of shoes that are particularly comfortable for diabetics, or an online shop that makes shoes specifically for diabetics? Any help much appreciated.

I just wanted to check before I go to have this done, but there is no conflict in having the flu jab if you inject insulin?

Your symptoms sound like you may have diabetes. Definitely get yourself to a diabetes specialist and get checked out.

*laughing* at Fergus!!! Oh, so someone sent you the photo of me with the traffic cone then!!!!? Well, the diet Tonic I bought myself from the supermarket, and I only ever drink very dry white wine, so I don't know what has caused the spikes. I write down everything I drink and eat too, and...

Thank you, but peecee, calories are not the same as carbs - alcohol may have a lot of calories, but almost no carbs. So it may put on weight, but it won't affect BG levels. As I said, it's not low BG levels I am worried about, but high ones.

I started low-carbing a few weeks ago, and at the same time gave up alcohol. My BG levels reduced dramatically, and for the first time I found myself within normal levels. Last weekend I started drinking alcohol again - gin and low calorie tonic, and white wine, and since then my BG levels...

I was about to post a very similar problem to Mickey - I have had great control for the last three weeks, but the last couple of days everything has gone haywire for no apparent reason, going from a mid-afternoon low of 4.2 to a post breakfast high of 12.1 .... what can cause this (my diet...

Thanks Alice, very helpful.
