[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1935615"] This is so saddening to read. I can’t imagine contemplating having my feet amputated :( For what it’s worth, in my experience neuropathy [I]can [/I]improve. I had crippling pain when the numbness subsided after diagnosis. It got worse as my control got better. Really depressing. I also had some ulcers during this time.Thankfully I was able to get through the worst of it and now the pain is completely gone. My feet are completely healed, with full feeling. Of course I have no idea how far progressed you are, but I hope very much that you’re able to find a way through this without losing your feet, even if it means suffering more initial pain as your glucose control improves. Sincere best wishes, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
