If you have pain and numbness in your legs and feet.
I just started walking a little bit a few times a day and it helps allot. It gets the circulation going.

I used to walk nearly every day, but it only caused the pain in my knees to get worse.

I guess there is always a trade off.

Guys start eating so your sugar intake is dropped. Eat more vegtables and less bread and carbohydrates. It will keep you sugar levels stable and lesson the medication you need.

I thinkthis topic has been discussed before, but regardless I will post again

The medical approach in the USA is quite different to that in the UK. Here a great attention is paid to anyone who develops the condition. It is a condition and not an illness.

As Faith says, the proper approach in diet is the way to tackle it. Medications are merely a support to that, be it in the form of tablets or insulin injections. This monitored by regular testing of sugar levels in your blood. In the UK all this is provided at no charge as are regular visits to a diabetic specialist nurse or your own doctor.

I have been diabetic for 10 years. (Probably 11 if you count the year it took my doctor to get through to me.) In that time I have not had a hypo or any other related problem.

See a doctor. Subject yourselves to the tests then follow his advice. But remember watch your diet.

But please do not assume diabetis until it is diagnosed. It could be something serious.

There's also a lot of sugar in vegetables--especially in corn, which is my favorite vegetable. I have drastically changed my eating habits by cutting sugar almost completely out--along with fat and salt. I have high cholesterol no matter what I do, and I'm on medications for cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes. Fortunately, I don't have to give myself shots; I'm not sure I could. I don't check my blood sugar as I'm supposed to do, because I hate poking holes in my fingers. I just watch my sugar intake VERY closely and take my diabetes pill every day. The last time I went to the Lab for blood tests, my blood sugar was at an acceptable level. The ONLY thing I eat with sugar in it is peanut butter and only in small amounts. One jar will last me a month. All the "sweets" I make are with Splenda.

Vegetables and Legumes are great for diabetes but might I suggest Fiber Bars, it would be like eating a candy bar or cookie and won't hurt the blood sugar much if any, also do a search on the Internet for Low Glycemic Index gives a list of some vegetables and fruits that are far worst than candy to eat, and gives a list of candy we diabetes may eat in modernation without killing our blood sugar. Snicker Bars, M & M chocalate cover peanuts to name a couple.

Cinnamon is good for regulating blood sugar.
