[QUOTE="Dottybagpuss, post: 266950, member: 43531"] Hi Brian. First thing I'd like to say is that I can completely sympathise with you for the situation you find yourself in. Chronic and/or acute pain is so very difficult to cope with on a daily basis, and add to that the worry and problems of unsettled diabetic control, and life can indeed become so hard that you can start to wonder what it's all in aid of. But life is precious, and none more so than yours. And with the patience and help of your doctor and specialists, and your friends (either at home or on these forums), you will again get to the stage where you start to feel as if you are coping again. I too suffer daily from severe pain and from the uncertainty of how my pain medications may affect my diabetes. Purely from a personal point of view, I do not view one set of problems as any more significant than the other. Both affect my life greatly and both need me and my doctors and specialists to work together to come up with some sort of solutions. Please don't think that you must prioritise pain management over diabetes control, or vice versa, because both are high priority for you and should also be for your doctor! I haven't given you much in the way of practical advice here Brian, but I do offer my support. And I wish you well in your quest to bring down your levels of pain and your levels of glucose. [/QUOTE]
