I am Canadian. Looking for someone who suffers from diabetic neuropathy. I can hardly walk. Have had neuropathy for 4 yrs. and diabetes for 33 yrs. and I am overweight. Looking to talk to someone and how to lose weight and how to bear pain?

I’ve had diabetes for 15 years and just started getting some neuropathy but mine seems to come and go in my left hand and my feet.
I had lost 45lbs on a modified Atkins diet. Mostly limited rice, bread, and pasta. I walked but not aggressively mainly to feel good. But work stress got to me and tiredness so I didn’t walk as much and gained the weight back Also was disinterested in caring about limiting the carbs.
I guess it is just a life long thing that we go up and down with. All I can say is your not alone. Being human means ever struggling and I am just reminding myself to jump back on the horse and take care of myself.

my father has neuropathy and has to use a walker most of the time. His doctor has prescribed medication for the pain, also cymbalta is a very good medicine for diabetic neuropathy.
