Seriously though, a diabetic who really cares about controlling their blood sugar will not only be able to prevent this from happening, but ALSO will lose weight and be able to examine those feet. Since my diagnosis 4 mos. ago, I check my blood sugar about 4-8 times a day and in 4 months have lost over 40 lbs. I hate seeing how people eat junk and suck down sodas, knowing what I know. Diabetes is such a life-altering disease.

bingo. most diabetics i see cant see their feet not because they are too old but because they are too friggin fat. when i tell them they will be going on insulin soon cuz the oral meds arent cutting it and their lifestyle seriously needs to change they just get the "what?!!?" look on their face.

seriously man??!! i told you this would happen if you didnt change your ways!!!

I have had type 2 diabetes for 20 years, I have no problems ( as yet) but I know it can bite you on the arse, its all about good control and exercise , I do have a dessert or sweets sometimes, a healthy diet for a diabetic is a diet everyone should follow, I feel a lot more healthy than I did 20 years ago.

I've been recently diagnosed with T2DM. I check my blood sugar and exercise, but dietary changes are also very important. I can tell when my blood sugar is messed up when my feet start to tingle and hurt. When I'm a very good boy, my feet feel normal.

I guess some people can't stop eating or drinking (alcohol is terrible for diabetics). I hated giving up booze, but my feet and blood sugar love me for it.
