[QUOTE="Geri, post: 647868, member: 31848"] Hi Earman, yes, I know how long term diabetes feels. I can scarcely move today, lack of sleep (insomnia) and feeling tired all over. Ive had diabetes for about 45 years now and Im 53. I wear Rieker shoes, they really help the shock pains when walking, I also have a pair of fitflops which help in the summer time. Please dont give up with it, I have bad days and then good days and then several days a week when I m exhausted. I find that reading fun magazines helps my mood, (I wear magnifying glasses to read due to a clever eye consultant who helped clear my central vision having lost my sight from retinopathy) and newly released films with a twist to the plot are things to look forward to. Finding stuff to do to achieve things for oneself I also find helps. For example I like to paint and play a pipe. I also find that cycling to the shops, even when I'm knackered, makes me feel better and doesn't put pressure on my feet. I use a bike basket to hold the shopping so that the weight idoesnt add to pressure on my feet. Actually I hadnt realized that this was common with long term diabetes and reading some posts on your thread has helped me to understand bone problems. So all in all, I hope you find some interests that will help you to feel better with your inner life and hope they help you to bear up with your diabetes and I thankyou for sharing this on the forum.
