[QUOTE="kellyb8511, post: 2585157, member: 94852"] Hi I know this is an old thread. I’m currently going through this now and it’s awful I almost died at Christmas after ending up in hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis. My hba1c was 14.5% quite a few of the doctors mentioned they had never seen a hba1c so high in all their career. This was due to me basically stopping insulin due to diabetic anorexia for years. I would have a tiny amount each day. Not enough to lower my sugar levels but enough to keep me alive. Anyway I have completely changed my life around and since the hospital I have taken my insulin religiously and never gone above 9 I haven’t had my hba1c done but looking at my libra link it’s showing a hba1c of 6.1% I had to go for a few eye exams and currently having eye injections for diabetic maculopathy, which I was told it was due to my years of high sugar levels but this only started in January. This last 2 weeks have been awful though. It started by my feet burning so doctors put me on pregabalin this burning has become unbearable and now the pains I’m experiencing are excruciating. It’s really impacting my life. I’m struggling to walk. I had a bath yesterday which eased the pains in my legs but made my feet feel a million times worse and felt like I was being electrocuted in my feet and toes. I have codeine but I have had them for years (some other issue) so I have increased the amount of those to take the edge off but now I’m fearing overdose! Someone please give me help on the pain management. I understand this is a temporary issue with reducing my hba1c rapidly but I just can’t stand the pain. I have 2 young children and a dog and also quite demanding work so I need to be able to get out of bed without crying in pain. Please help [/QUOTE]
