Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
has anyone found a solution that worked as Ive spent loads on all kinds of foot pads only to find Im no nearer to finding any relief.
Just thought I may well have overlooked something that could be helpful.
Mainly its in my right foot and feels like Ive got stones in my shoe or crumpled up paper and its driving me nuts now,so any suggestions welcomed.

If it is diminished oxygen supply I would take gingo biloba, another remedy is I gm vit c lysine , proline (amino acids)( for the proline I use 2 tbsp gelatin, lysine is 1 1/2 gms more is better.) and green tea at bedtime 1 gm vit c upon awakening and do not eat for 2 hour
Neuropathy should present with a tingling feeling like the foot has gone to sleep oxygen supply is hypoxia a narrowing of the capillaries without the never damage.
My suggestion comes from my own experience and has nothing to do with diabetes. It comes from a lifetime of smoking, After 43 years of smoking I developed peripheral arterial disease this is what I used to ameliorate my condition. I have no idea if it will work on capillaries its just a guess.
Vit C has been shown to remove sorbitol one of the factors contributing to retinopathy (eyes) but Vit C and glucose have such a similar chemical make up and use the same transport (insulin) that it is difficult for us to get good levels that's why bedtime and morning no food for two hours but its just a guess.
It does however work for sure on nerve damage I injured a nerve in my wrist and the Dr. suggested it to me it worked. Neuropathy(diabetic) is the mylein(sp) sheath around the nerve I take it it is water soluble so no problem in taking too much.

I may have found another piece to puzzle Quercetin
will remove and inhibit sorbitol
best food sources are apples(eat the peel), onions, garlic
I love the internet thank you so much America
