[QUOTE="gemma_T1, post: 1828866, member: 473650"] Thankyou[emoji4] I’ve never been a smoker ... so your post gives me some hope that things can improve by giving up smoking perhaps better diabetes control would improve it too[emoji120] although that is the hardest part. We’ll know the final diagnosis soon and I’ll keep you posted. The problem is my diabetes for much of the last 20 years has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows with seemingly little reason as to why [emoji35] I can go from 18 units per day standard to up to 29/31 trying to fix unexplainable highs [emoji35][emoji35]it all depends on the day and not even on the food which is very much the same quantity and quality... So I think the reason for it would be the diabetes control which has always been difficult since the first 10 years of honeymoon period ... shame that didn’t last even longer ... I suppose I worry because apart from the pain and feeling that you have concrete legs I see many in hospital here in Italy with amputated toes, feet and legs and so reading about this condition after the doctors who performed the other test suggested it. Thankyou for your support it’s so wonderful to have found this forum... after being in the wilderness for so many years... I have to say that if I were still living in England I know the care would have been much better than here in Italy. I miss our NHS [emoji7] Best wishes [/QUOTE]
