He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This would be about a year ago. Not sure what medi's he's on  (not insulin) He is still in bad pain with his feet. He is going to see foot guy again next week. I remember him as a small child screaming with pain in his feet.I had him to Drs on several occasions, but was told there was nothing wrong with him. I'm now thinking has he had diabetes from childhood. He was labeled as hypo active and naughty as a child. He has suffered all his life with anxiety, up one minute down the next.  My youngest son was diagnosed, 10 years ago when he was 21 with type 1, my sister diagnosed at 39 with type 2, my granddad was type 1. I don't feel as though they are helping my son with his leg pain, just giving him strong pain relief, which makes him very tired. But there again I don't know if there is anything they can do to help him. His diabetic nurse seems to think he has been undiagnosed for a long time. I'm now wondering, if this is the case how much damage could there be.</p></blockquote><p></p>
