Hi Nancy, my PN was caused through prediabetes & i was low in B12 but i am fine these days, my approach was low carb dieting and reducing the size of each meal & cutting out all sugary carbs like candy & other unhealthy snacks & no alcohol, there is no need for him to hurt whilst exercising, there was no way i could walk the pavements, it just hurt to much so i opted to go to our local all weather swimming pool and just walk up and down the lanes [ early in the morning when hardly anyone was there] even a lousy 30 minutes a day can make a huge differance in the long run, also a suitable muscel building program tailored to his personal health is a great way to get rid of excess glucose, it helps to unlock the insulin receptors, but just small steps at first building up slowly over time.
best of luck
Brian

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions.

His B12 was low 239 ... he has been taking b12 for a few months now. We live in the country so going in to the town pool would be a little inconvenient but within a years time we expect to move to town so will look into it then and a muscle building program too. What we hope to do for a month this winter is go to Florida and we usually rent a house with a pool so that would be a trial time to see if that would be something that he could do.

I think small slow steps is the only way to go otherwise it is too overwhelming and he probabley won't stick to a lifestyle change and end up in the same spot he is now. W farm and he has always put his heart and soul into his work, I tell him he job now it looking after himself.

Thanks again
Nancy

Hi Everyone:
My husband got his diabetes numbers back from the dr. yesterday, he now for sure does not have diabetes. In fact the numbers were better than in Aug.

So I guess he is back to square one. He will definitely stay on his weight loss plan as he has lost 20 lbs since Oct.

The neuro is out of her office until the New Year so we will call then and set up another appt.

In the short time we have been reading the messages here we have learned so much.

We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year.

Thanks
