My A1C was 15 or 16 when I found out I was T2 but I was an idiot and ignored the symptoms for awhile which helped land me in this boat. My emgs came back similar to yours but I never really had pain just uncomfortable feelings and electric zaps but now numbness, toes feeling like theyre taped together and lots of muscle wasting. I dont look the same as I did two years ago. Theres other stuff too but Im just repeating myself and I guess they can be found in my comment history.

I know some say dont worry about the future but Im not even 50 and the life I am living now is completely different from what it was two years ago. Its been greatly disrupted so I cant help but worry and Im actually terrified. If I had a bit more security I might have a different opinion on that though. For me the mental aspect of this is just as bad as the physical and Im also struggling with the idea of ending up in a wheelchair as Im noticing decline. Im taking all the suggested supplements Alpha lipoic, magnesium glycinate, b12, omega 3 and some others and trying to exercise with bands to increase strength. I dont know if its doing anything though and doctors dont really do anything. I attempted to get into inpatient neuro rehab but was denied. Despite that Im actually going to attempt some exercise now. The problem is my foot feels like its going to fall off…..good times.

Apologize for the complaining and negative sounding but there is nothing positive about this for me but dont let me rub off on you! Hopefully you get some answers and support here.

For me I guess it helps to vent online even though Im cognisant I may come off annoying. Anyways welcome aboard. Im fairly new here too but chronically online due to this abomination of desolation! Well time for that exercise I mentioned…downloaded some pdfs for foot drop exercises which I think Im developing…..
