@jk Thanks. I have seen so many articles and ads that I just think they are scams. Of course, they always have some magic exotic herbal concoction for the cure. I just always think that isn't true; it's just an ad to sell a product. I have an appointment with my endo in a couple of weeks. I'm going to ask him. I know he will say absolutely No cure!
I have developed neuropathy in my feet in the last six weeks or so. It has really added to the difficulty of having diabetes. It seems that no matter what I do, I get more problems. I am really tired of all of this. I gave up food I enjoy and going out to eat and friends because I always had to turn them down because I can't go out to eat anywhere. I am paranoid on contolling what goes in my food. Diabetes is just a lousy disease.
I'm just down in the dumps today.
Carol

I think you can ask every single member here who has diabetes, and they would all tell you that they have had days like that! You are not alone! I am Christian, I send all my prayers to Jesus; not just prayers, complaints, grumbling, even yelling at times. Tell it all to Him, He died for you, and has a very big back--He can handle it all!!!!!!!!!!! Mine have sounded like this at times--why did you give this to me, I don't want it, take this away from me!!!!! Even Jesus asked God to take away the suffering He was about to endure. That prayer from Jesus to His Father, always inspires me--if Jesus was allowed to feel that way---we should be able to too!!!!!!! God Bless, and hang in there---He always has time to listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@retiredteacher Carol, I will be interested in hearing what your endo says. I googled because somewhere in the back of my mind I remembered reading something about eating a very low calorie diet could reverse diabetes. I asked my PCP about it but he said that I did not weigh enough to do that, and had already lost so much.
I was talking to my future daughter-in-law this evening about this and she said that she has heard that it is possible to reverse diabetes. When she heard my numbers she was very surprised that I am still considered to be diabetic.
