Dear Dust -
I am pre-diabetic and I can tell you first hand that when I load my day with soda and sugary snacks I am in agony for the next several days. When I watch the carbs I have very good days. Like today, I only have the slightest of pain in my hands and feet. I would say my pain level is a 1 or 2 and that is becasue I have kept to a low carb diet this past week.
I do take Lyrica, amitryptlyne and tramadol for breakthrough pain. So far I'm not having to take much of the tramadol at all.
