@A DiabetesTeam Member
Hello Mike
Iβm glad to see that you asked your question.
Now that Diabetes Team have answered you, other members, when seeing your post, will also help, if they suffer from the same symptoms.
This is a support team, itβs not a medical group, so I suggest that while staying on here, using the same method that I advised, by using the blue background, I would strongly suggest to you that you also join
DIABETES UK, which is actually a medical site, with Doctors advising.
It must be awful and intolerable for you to suffer like this without relief, so please give DIABETES UK a chance. Also, if this continues to control your life, and make the quality of your life unpleasant, please would you consider seeing an Endocrinologist, who specialises in diabetes.
Wishing you well. You are in my prayers, on my prayer list ππ€
Hi @A DiabetesTeam Member, and @A DiabetesTeam Member, and @A DiabetesTeam Member, and all you warriors.
The best thing you can do is to stop adding to the vascular damage from glucose spikes that are the root cause of your peripheral neuropathy.
Control your numbers to the nondiabetic range of 4.0(72 usa) to 7.8(140 usa). Control both the before eating and 2 hour numbers. You may need both prescription help and doing some of the heavy lifting yourself. Baby steps.
Find your carb tolerance. Control your numbers to the nondiabetic range and stop feeding diabetes complications and comorbidities. Baby steps.
By heavy lifting I mean controlling both what you put in your mouth and what you don't. Baby steps.
1st cut out all added sugars in food and drink. Then slowly cut your carbs. Baby steps.
Most diabetics can handle 100-130 net carbs daily.
Some only 50-60 net carbs daily.
Some only 20-30 net carbs daily.
Then there is me at 2-3 net carbs per meal. Baby steps.
I do what I need to do.
Make the decision and DO IT.
Don't look back.
Just do what you need to do. Baby steps.
Good luck.
New habits take time.
For some even with immediate change, it takes a minimum of 8-12 weeks. And real change can take 8-12 months to fully establish a new habit. Baby steps.
Good luck.
Praying for you.
Never give up, never surrender, never ever.
You got this.
Have a wonderful day.
Thank you for that.

Joyce gives very good advice but leave the Epsom Salts out.
Itβ makes your feet very dry π€
From Google
Many people use Epsom salt as a soothing remedy for their feet. However, it is not suitable for people with diabetes. People with diabetes can have high levels of blood sugar. This can lead to nerve damage and insufficient blood flow, which make it harder for wounds to heal.

Hi mike, I'm Joyce. I have severe neuropathy in my feet, and I use a foot spa with water jets to get more oxygenated blood flow to my feet. If you don't have a foot spa, a pan of luke warm water will do. Soak for about 30 minutes. You can add Epsom salt to the water. Hope this helps you, my best regards. Joyce
