Cannabis

Hello, my father in law has diabetes (not sure which type) and takes a plethora of pills, injects insulin when needed, and his left foot is screaming in pain almost constantly, unless the hydrocodone or morphine is in full gear. He is a stubborn mule, with the wife and I trying to get him to change his dietary habits, and we are concerned for his health. I, personally, use cannabis on a regular basis, and with the introduction of medical cannabis it has been quite a treat. But we are wondering if there have been any extensive studies utilizing cannabis to help relieve some symptoms or ailments directly related to diabetes, and where to find them so we can present a different avenue of treatment, hopefully reducing the number of pills he takes in a single day (I think he is up to around 24 or 25)...EVERY day. Pumping one's body with soooo many prescription drugs can't be good for any human...hoping a detox would help him feel better? Even though it may be hell at first? Slowly wean him off pills one at a time? I just don't know, and don't want to see him in so much pain all the time....

I would concentrate on his diet and lifestyle, not on introducing more drugs,, especially the kind that won't promote movement lol

I am pro canabis

I understand that introducing another drug may not be the answer, but if it can get him off of even half the pills.......my old man had diabetes and took a few pills, and changed his diet and no more diabetes for many years now.
