@retiredteacher I appreciate you posting about your neuropathy. I'm sorry to hear that you have a new diabetes-related problem. I had missed your regular posting and was wondering how you were doing.
I'm wondering if you have tried any chair exercises that would not involve standing? They might help with some aerobic activity (especially when you get your arms above your heart). Here are some YouTube videos with different chair exercises, https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Chair+exercises.
Will you take a look and see if some might be helpful for you?

@hopeful33250 I looked at the Pilates chair exercises that Susan Lucci advertises on TV. That looks more like what would be good for multiple exercises on one device and it looks really steady. The tread mill is just my first choice so if I can figure out how to manage my feet, I may just have to try to get back to that again, I think my shoes are the biggest problem and going barefoot definitely does not work. I am not sure what I have is neuropathy, but it fits all the symptoms. I haven't been to a Dr. for it. I doubt that anything could be done. It's just one of those things that sometimes goes along with diabetes. Some days the pain isn't so bad, and I should try to treadmill on those days. I'm just going to have to figure this out. I need a routine, but things have been so topsy-turvy that a routine is not possible until I can get everything under control.
Thanks for the chair exercise link. I'll see what might work from that.
Have a wonderful Easter, if you celebrate.
