I became diabetic this past year after my blood sugar spiked after my last chemo treatment (If the washin' don't get you then the rinsin' will!), and I have permanent diabetes now and am managing it quite well with a low carb diet and insulin. I DO have a neuropathy, numbness in the extremities, i.e. hands and feet, for which I take Neurotin/Gabopentin.

So I'm off sweets and alchohol and staying away from bad carbs, corn potatoes, rice and pasta in large portions, but I'm dealing with it. My weight loss has stalled at 23-25 pounds, but I look and feel much better. It's far from the end of the world. Talk to me about it more as you find out more of your individual condition.

Good luck with handling your own conditions.
