[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2140931, member: 479176"] I had exactly the same problem with my feet a few years ago including taking off my shoes at work to try and relieve the itch by scratching. Had to work very deep to have any affect. After I retired this neuropathy and my A1cs gpt worse and worse until I started the low carb program in July 2018. By December I had reduced my insulin from 68 units per day to 0. I have lost 35 lbs in the last 12 months and my A1cs have dropped to 6.4 in August. I the last few weeks my bg levels have also been falling on a regular continuing basis so much so that I have made an appointment to see my doctor to find out if I am 'cured'. My overnight average bg is now under 5 sometimes it drops to 3.5 during the night an d my 24 hour hour average is down to 5.6. If I have a sweet (candy) say a high sugar sherbet lemon drop, the bg goes up by about 1.0 to 1.5 and within an hour has dropped (pun intended) to below the previous low. Not sure what to do as I don't want to increase my general carb intake. All suggestions gratefully received, Meanwhile in the last couple of days my neuropathy has been improving. Today it is just a sensitive tingling. Maybe I will be back to the itchy feet soon. That will make me cheer and as I am retired I can scratch as much as I like in the comfort of my own home! [/QUOTE]
