[QUOTE="Kyambala, post: 2359162, member: 210735"] When I was a teenager I used to push my feet out of the bottom of the blankets to cool them down. During my 40's/50's I had a Jack Russel/Terrier cross who loved to come into my bed and warm my feet. Now at 79 (with no dog) my feet are so cold that I have to warm them up on my legs before I can snuggle up close to my wife - yet my body gets so hot in bed that I sweat. My blood sugars are well controlled and seldom go above 7 before breakfast (they are usually in the 5's) because I vary my insulin intake depending upon my exercise and diet. I only take between 30 - 34 units in the morning and 20 - 24 units in the evening plus 2 Metformin SR in the evening. I eat mainly salads with chicken, turkey, or fish and drink Green Tea with Lemon in the morning and Marmite the rest of the day. I also have had Diabetic Neuropathy for about 30 years. Any suggestions about curing cold feet? [/QUOTE]
