I know this is an older post but what I did was fudge my pain levels and the perscribed more meds than I need. So now I have a nice stock pile. Just make sure you take the meds the day before your dr appointment so they can see the meds in your system. I also live in California so access to ‘alternative’ medicine is easy if need be.

James, I suggest you look into Type 1 (juvenile onset) diabetes. When you do you will find that it cannot be controlled by diet alone. Diabetics with type 2 can often reverse their disease but not type 1.

No, you won’t. It will be very annoying though. In a pinch, you can make ’emergency all-distance glasses’ by poking a needle through a piece of cardboard and looking through the hole.

I have been reading up on therapeutic grade essential oils. they say they are great for all issues. might want to check into them

again more whole foods more greens could only help to nourish your body and help the inflammation. plus do you or you wife sew? now would be a great time to find or make a little ditty bag that has pockets that can be used for the cooling packets to wrap insulin’s or other meds that need to be cooled.

but Dean those types of foods only aggravate the issues type 1 or 2

Pain mostly comes forth due to inflammation in the body. tho i am no doctor, i have tried with great results, keeping my body alkalized with more green juices, stopped most sodas,very little coffee lots of warm lemon water too.
