COVID-19 and risk for people with Diabetes & Diabetic Neuropathy

I want to share that I have been working very hard in my little greenhouse which is warm and sunny, and lifting more than I usually do, being careful to rest often. I am behaving myself on my diabetic diet, and want to report that I am not having any neuropathy at all, day or night. I am not really losing weight but my pants are looser now, and I still struggle with having energy to do what I want to do outside. This program seems to be working for me without pills and doctors, who give me more pills than I can handle. My shoulders are better, even though the doctor says I am rubbing bone on bone. I only have a little pain in bed at night, so I change over to my other side. This sounds simple, but it is difficult to manage, but I like growing tomato plants in the greenhouse and will be giving my extras away to those who can't get out to get anything. I can't do it all anymore, but I can still do some of my hobbies. Dorisena

@dorisena I love your post, it's so positive sounding. I'm glad your shoulders are feeling better and what a bonus, that your pants are a bit looser. I wish I could say the same. I have really been working on being good this week with what I eat but I have still gained some weight. I am exercising at home but I guess it is not as effective as the exercises I do at my health club.
I wish I was close by to get some of those luscious home grown tomatoes!

@dorisena So glad to hear you are feeling better . I found out I too have lost weight without trying by just doing these exercises the walking program Becky started and my own chair exercises . I dont take as many pain meds as I did before of course there are days nothing helps with fibro and all else I have . Good for you keep up the good work .

Hi Dorisena, I'd appreciate knowning the details of the "program" you are on. I have idopathic peripheral neuropathy in my feet and am pre diabetic. I watch what I eat and my weight is actually less than what I should weigh for my size. Never smoked.
Thanks
