this is common with long term idd, i have neuropathy in feet, hands, etc... with aches and pains. i'm sure a raw food diet is the answer, but, as i'm a tv cameraman where the job is physically demanding along with being artistic, and the stress can be very high. lots of standing around, driving and so on... it's very difficult to live on a hermits diet unless you are one. most people i know with diabetes have boring sedentary jobs, behind desks, or are in wheelchairs and don't work or are in one place all the time. my job involves masses of travelling at home and abroad. i've covered war zones, deserts, etc... my diabetic control hasn't been good and i don't feel 100% most of the time. i've had diabetes for 37yrs and i'm 53. I sympathise samantha with your neuropathy and losing sight at a young age isn't good.
i put an enormous amount of blame on the pharmaceutical companies, who refuse to cure this chronic illness simply put the amount of dollars they lose if there was no more diabetes would probably cause suicide amongst the greedy b......s that they are. if scientists can send advanced technology into space, then surely there is a cure for diabetes and after nearly 100yrs of its discovery, we are still sticking needles into our body's which i think is disgusting and shame on those money grabbers for allowing it to drag on and on and on. my observation of the majority of british people, they've become like robots always accepting, never question authority and that's why we're in the s..t we're in - too many people taking the **** that's dealt to them instead of speaking up and reclaiming our individual strengths and powers instead of being brainwashed by authority.
