Very recently I have experienced a burning, stabbing pain in my thighs and occassional numbness in toes.
I have read various horror stories about amputations and blindness and must admit that even in my darkest nightmares did I ever see myself as middle aged ****** about in the dark.
I know the feeling - panic :evil: I went to the Dr 10 years ago with numbness in one thigh, & he tested for diabetes. My averages have been around 7 through the years, & I was told they were satisfactorily controlled. Then the leg muscle pain set in a year ago & I feared becoming disabled. It was painful just getting out of bed. Advice from contributors to this forum resulted in me drastically reducing my carbohydrates to only very small portions. In 3 months I was fully active again, & had lost a stone in wt. My BS averages dropped to 6.
My recommendation is a reduced carb diet if you want an active rest-of-your-life.
I have been using a blood tester since being on Gliclazide and can't understand why the reading before breakfast is much higher than it was before bed time. Last night for instance was 5.2 and this morning wass 9.6. Can anyone shed any light on it?
Its called the "dawn effect" as the liver releases glucose to energise you for the day ahead. What time do you get up. I can go from say 5.3 at 7 a.m. to 6.1 at 11 a.m. when I have a fasting blood test.
p.s. Non-diab BS is 4-5.

Some Young Earth Creationists propose that the Behemoth is a dinosaur. Some sort of sauropod is usually proposed since large sauropods had tails "like a cedar".
