Hello.

I am visiting from the neuropathy forum. I have PN for 10 years now and it's either autoimmune or metabolic from Thyroid disease. It has been very stable though. I am 41 and 63 kilos and reasonably fit. My father has type 2 diabetes with diabetic ulcers and now PN in his feet. His entire diet is managed by his wife and English is her 2nd language so I can't really understand her.

I very recently started getting painful pins and needles after consuming any sugar and carbs. I was wondering if anyone can tell me from a diet standpoint how many carbs they have in a meal. What's the best way to manage your intake of sugar and carbs. I am finding it very hard to stop eating bread. 1 slice has 15/16 grams of carbs and I am reacting to this.

Any diet tips regarding fruits,carbs,dairy and anything else would be very much appreciated. I am keeping a food/diet journal and writing down all tips I get as my memory is not the best.

Thank you,
Aussie
