Hello Marcie and welcome to NeuroTalk.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems. Back pain is bad enough with having to deal with diabetes as well.

Here's the link to our Spinal Disorders Forum incase you haven't yet found it : http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum22.html

We also have a diabetes forum and here's the link to that one as well. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum53.html

Welcome again, it's good to have you with us.

Hi there.

I have degenerative joint disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Last week I was bent like a pretzel, then the weather got nice, I stood up straight.

Yesterday, I was absolutely fine, went around the corner, again, absolutely fine, then a few rain drops fell, then the sun came out, and my thigh and left hip went nuts. I have had sciatica in the past, so I could only assume, that with the 5 minute drop in the barometer, my body just felt it.

couldn't walk good last night.

I did some simple stretching, that felt good.

Right now, it's freezing outside (FREEZING, ON MAY 9TH, would you believe this). It's raining, it's awful, but I knew that if I did not get out of bed, and do my simple stretching, my whole body would pay for it.

I did my thing, walked around the corner to Dunkin Donuts for my usual morning coffee, and I was surprised that I COULD EVEN WALK.

So I know pain, and I know diabetes.

I'm on 22 of the Lantus and doing quite good. I changed my whole way of eating.

So how are you tackling your diabetes??

Take care,

Melody
