@lewin I have not experienced any stenosis or arthritis problems yet but I’m aware of a connection between diabetes and bone issues. I can look for information about that if it would be helpful. I’m concerned that you are insulin resistant and cannot eat carbs or sugar. What tests have you had to confirm this? What treatment plan are you following to deal with these things? Physical challenges like these certainly can contribute to depression and anxiety. No wonder you feel hopeless. Do you have any resources to help you manage?

I have limited resources. Doctors where I live have not done a good job of testing for neuropathies---if you know where I might go would appreciate it. Dr. Vinik at Steiglitz Diabetes Center was very knowledgeable but is no longer practicing. I sent many articles written by him but my doctor ignored. Got some limited testing done here. I also need help with neck as I may need surgery. My mother had these same problems and had gestational diabetes with me. I want to go somewhere will they can deal with both. Now I'm told by my health insurance that I cannot change until enrollment period. I am in a bad situation. I would like to go to Mayo but very far away and they won't accept my medicare advantage plan.
