[QUOTE="marzak, post: 2227944, member: 506613"] I have a very similar pattern to you diagnosed last April with peripheral neuropathy at diagnosis, used Gliclazide (sulfonylurea) to reduce BG quickly then reduced drug in steps and stopped in August. I still get foot heat/cold/tingling but not as often. I understand that because the capillaries supplying blood to nerves are damaged by the high blood glucose that not much repair takes place so I may have to live with it. It doesn't stop me running or walking or swimming and I only notice when I am sitting still or occasionally at night in bed. It is only on one side and in my foot now when it was in my fingers, lips, face, scalp on same side at time of diagnosis so I have had to learn to put up with it. I do still get a dribbly eye and runny nose on same side but that seems to be much less too. So maybe you will improve as you keep going with diet and if you do some energetic activity too. Just don't let it get in the way of life which I'm sure you don't! :-) I must look up Jim Lahey too and see if there are any tips! Mine is exercise and very little idle sitting as well as the obvious BG control. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
