I have had problems due to diabetes,my feet went numb,and I sweat excessively when I eat,this is diabetic neuropathy. The doctor said it can be sorted by getting my blood sugar low and keeping it low,otherwise there could be permanent irreversible damage to the nerves.
I was quite upset at the thought I could be paralysed permanently.I am still scared of that.I have to sort my diet so that my blood sugars fall to an acceptable level.
This is depressing news but hopefully it is not too late,the doctor said it may not be permanent damage to the nerves to the feet,the nerves might just be irritated.I have to go for the blood test on friday 6th October and see the diabetic nurse on 24th October.
I am expecting to hear about my turn coming up for CBT,I have been on the waiting list for three months and they said it would be my turn around November time.This is to help me overcome PTSD to help me do stuff that triggers my PTSD and prevents me doing it,I always get triggered when I try to leave my comfort zone.
I will keep up my efforts to improve my life and my mental and physical health.
Thanks to everyone who has been reading this thread and supporting me.
