Just hoping for you that glucose management trumps all. It appears the effects of out of control blood sugar is far-reaching, much more far-reaching than I ever knew.

The only seemingly consensus thing I'm reading about with regard to supplements and tendons is to make sure you're getting enough vitamin C.

Meanwhile, I've developed muscle cramps like I've never experienced before in muscles I've never had cramps in before. I have an imbalance somewhere, and I'm suspecting calcium.

It's all very frustrating....

I give up my milk habit as part of carb watching, and may not be getting enough calcium now. Since fruit is also not good for carbs, I've started eating bell peppers daily which are a great source of vitamin C. But now I learn bell peppers are nightshades, and could be causing problems.
