In 2008, started to notice numbness in left foot. It was very periodic at first, but in the last few months has been a steady sort of numb. Went for blood sugar testing a few months ago and it was high. More testing tomorrow (12-11-09).
I have stopped eating chocolate. I eat much less and am starting to lose some weight.
However, I drink orange juice and hot tea with honey. I am guessing that those choices are risky. In my internet search for answers about those "usuals" for me I discovered this Forum.
I have only been on the Forum for about 30 minutes, so please do not slam my very obvious lack of knowledge about all things diabetic.
