Neuropathy??
VERY GOOD QUESTION!!! I had just posted the same question, but didn't get any replies as of yet. I dug a little deeper (20 pages in the forum)and found your blog.
I am 43 and am a Type II Diabetic on 5 to 8 shots of insulin a day and 2000 mg of Metformin, 50 mg of Januvia a day. My feet have hurt for about 1 year now and I can relate!!!! It's frickin' hell on earth. Now, just in the last 2 weeks, I have it in my hands! It hurts but it's mostly very annoying in the hands.
I am having surgery in 13 days. I was due to have it on the 8th of June in fact, had already started my prep the day before, when they cancelled the surgery due to a big nurses strike here in the Twin Cities, MN. So frustrating to have mentally and physically prepared for it and waited over 2 1/2 years and then have it cancelled. I thought I'd lose my mind. Ugh. I so hope I'm doing the right thing.
It was helpful reading some of the replies here. Some of them show hope of better days. I was hoping to see a happy, bouncy message saying that all side effects of diabetes are gone! But, no such luck. I do think we will feel drastically better without carrying around this much weight - it's literally like carrying around an adult woman. It HAS to feel better, or it just wouldn't make sense.
God Bless All! I truly pray that your neuropathy gets better!!!! I really understand how much it can hurt.
