[QUOTE="azure, post: 1369501, member: 39639"] There's a thread on Neuropathy here. Some people have found that alpha Lipoic acid can help, along with some other supplements and keeping your blood sugar in range. It's good that you've had your ratios checked and altered. Remember that what's right is what works for,you. This is really important. If your new ratios don't give you good numbers, then let your team know and get them changed. Tight control should help your neuropathy. Your BMI is around 23. That puts you in the normal healthy weight range. As long as you eat a reasonable diet, then there's absolutely no reason why you should put on weight. Think of what you're going to,eat (maybe plan out a day's or a week's meals in advance), calculate the right dose of insulin, test two,hours after the start of your meal. You can do this. You did it when you were pregnant - kept very good control - and you can do,it now :) Moderately low carbs is easier to deal with than LCHF, I've found, because on LCHF you need to bolus for,protein and take into account possible delayed rises from fat as well as possible physiological insulin resistance. Rather than worry about carbs (unless you're eating an excessive amount), why not concentrate on healthy eating - plenty of veg, good quality proteins, some fruit, moderate portions of bread/potatoes/rice/pasta. Trying to fill each day with healthy foods is more inspiring than thinking about what you shouldn't eat. [/QUOTE]
