I am a 35 year diabetic(55 now)..... Damn, um, where did that time go??
I have been insulin dependent since day 1. My A1Cs have been in line since day one for 95% of the time. I have no neuropthy at all.... Got karpal tunnel surgery done in the last year. Wow, how wonderful for my hands!!! Obviously not diabetic related, but that shitty numb feeling all the time.
Happy to talk about diabetes in general(dont have the neuropothy insight for you though). feel free to email me at biglakebass@yahoo.com or call at 612-965-1434.

My late mother in-law was a brittle diabetic for over 50 years before she passed. I know she had some neuropathy in her feet the last 10 years or so. She’d have to keep an eye out for cuts and blisters so she didn’t get infections. I know the wounds took longer to heal. I honestly don’t remember any treatment though. I know they recommended to keep the sugars in line as much as possible. For her, the sugars could be fine one minute and drop out the next. She hit 8 as a sugar low twice in the ER. The doctors thought she’d be dead. It did affect her cognitive functioning later on.

With a blenk look and then finally what am I doing here look. She was a wonderful lady. Unlike the step mother in-law. The witch from hell.

I got to a 18 once. Wife found me stumbling around in the garage, truck was running and the door open. I guess I had enough sense to get out of the truck. Thank god it didn’t happen 20 minutes later going down the highway. The old lady knew exactly what it was. Got me sugared up and I was back going an hour later. With her driving that time. lol
