[QUOTE="Mike Solomons, post: 2042725, member: 461553"] As an "oldie", (71 last birthday, diagnosed in 1985, believed type 2 from childhood), may I please add - be pleased that it hurts! The next stage is numbness when you have no idea if anything's wrong. Many years ago, I woke up one May morning to find that my feet were really cold. Cold in May? I then realised that my feet had been numb for most of the winter and were only recovering with the warmer temperatures. I now use a number of expedients to keep my feet warm all year round, (e.g. at the moment I'm wearing two pairs of socks). My toes have very little feeling and my feet are not much better, but they are and look OK. Docs aren't much use, they tend to just tell you to control blood sugars. After that they give up! All I can suggest is keep your blood sugars under control, keep legs and feet warm, and keep nagging for help! [/QUOTE]
