I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 almost a year ago and have controlled it well with diet and exercise. The diet is boring and restricted, but I have kept to it and the numbers are well under control - fasting level less than 6 every morning. Nevertheless, the symptoms continue. I still have to get up two or three times every night, I get dry mouth, and feel much more tired more frequently than before. I suffer neuropathy in the feet which is getting no better either. I would have thought the symptoms of diabetes would have abated with the control I have exercised. Why aren't they?
