That's a fantastic result.I think the main issue with losing feeling on your feet is they become much easier to injure, and you don't necessarily notice the injury. So you need to be more careful with them (eg don't wander around the house in bare feet). So you are at higher risk of things like amputations but that definitely doesn't mean you are going to have one.  Also, high blood sugars make foot injuries more likely to get infected so getting your hba1c down to 48 sounds like it will help to prevent that.Though a lot of people say that diabetic neuropathy can't be reversed (assuming that is what you have?) there are several reports from members here who've had neuropathy and reduced it by improving their blood sugar control.I'm going to tag [USER=517579]@KennyA[/USER] who had neuropathy symptoms when first diagnosed.Disclaimer, not  a doctor and this is definitely not medical advice.</blockquote>
