i've been neglecting my type 1 diabetes for 6+ years. recently, i suffered 2 boughts of dka. since they discharged me from icu this past sept., my sugars are better, but my feet seem to have gotten worse. even my hands now tingle, pretty much all day and especially at night, which makes sleeping difficult. i heard they have an operation that eases the pressure off your nerves, but i can't possibly afford that, since i'm not insured (try getting health insurance w/ diabates!). anyhow, the pressure is really bad lately--anybody know of any topical creams or ointments out there that relieve such pressure? heck, i figured once my sugars were under control, the neuropathy would let up some, but to my surprise it's just getting worse w/ every day. any advice will be greatly appreciated. thanks!
