This situation can lead to diabetic feet in which due long run diabetes .This becomes a prolonged woe if not treated and can result in serious skin problems and loss of limbs. Diabetic ulcers prevent blood supply and nerve sensation towards the affected area.
You have not provided present status of your BS levels . In absence of proper reports we are not in position to advise . Please undergo for following test.
FBS, PPBS, LIPID PROFILE, SGPT, S CREATININE, S POTASSIUM, HB1AC
This is not reply to above but I am ready to share my problem which is the same but the results are encouraging in my case. FBS between 11- to 94, 3Hr-PPBS 150 and latest HbA1C is 6.5 last week. But the condition of my feet is the same as mention above. If I am given the suggestion I would appreciate. Secondly I am thinking of starting the wheat,gum, barley and kalunji. Will it work or not. Some body suggested that it becomes paste type what you will filter from the paste. I shall be happy if clear guidance is given. I am member but still I give my email address yadavahuja@gmail.com. My mobile number is 9873845947. On HealthUnlocked I am logged as yrahuja1942. I shall wait for the suggestion.
Hi yrahuja1942,
Your FBS 11-94 seems to be wrong. BS below 70 will take to hypoglycemia; below 30 will be unconscious for sure. Blood test at or after 3Hr of food is Random Blood Sugar; not PPBS & 150 is high beyond limit. HbA1c 6.5 is almost near good. It is because of these that your foot problem is as mentioned above.
I do not know anything about Gum, Barley & Kalunji; so cannot say whether it will work or not. When I became diabetic I developed & followed the Long Wheat Mash Diet (LWMDR
appropedia.org/Diabetes_mel... LWMDR) and got cured in three years healthunlocked.com/diabetes... MY POST 1 .
You please click these links and read. If things are not clear to you after that, please feel free to ask me.
To the members of this forum I like to communicate in public for two reasons:
1. Contents of mail or phone conversation will be known to one person only. If it is communicated here, with the same time & effort of mine it can reach many many patients.
2. In phone communication accent & pronunciation is a problem. More over if something is missed, in the first place it will not be noticed; if it is noticed later another phone call is necessary to fill the gap. Unless somebody has to discuss some very personal matters that can not be done in public, I do not encourage email or phone communication to the members of this forum.
Sorry my mistake it is 94 to 115 not 11 as mentioned. Secondly it is 130 to 150 after 2 hrs of meal. Please advise if you have any suggestion. My numb foot is bothering me too much. So if you have gathered any valuable correspondence which can help me to improve the dead veins to bring life in the right foot while second is about to follow. Please help me I am 71 and having diabetic since 1983 and have used lot of medicines that is why I am looking for some other medicines which can have good control on sugar and nerves. I have used gabapentine for 12 years now I have stopped since it is not improving my foot. I have been advised by doctors other medicines which has not helped. I shall wait for your answer
Hi yrahuja ji, Thank you for the reply & interest. I shall try to help you to the maximum possible extent. You have to do three things.
1. Read my replies/suggestions carefully and follow it completely without adding your logic, wisdom or intelligence to it.
2. If you have a difference of opinion based on your experience, knowledge, wisdom or logic please discuss it with me before implementing your idea.
3.Keep informing me status as frequently as possible.
PPBS has to be tested AT 2 hours after meal & NOT AFTER 2 hours.
Did you read my diet pattern in my article at Appropedia? If not please click this link appropedia.org/Diabetes_mel... LWMDR
You may scroll (move) up & down there to see my blood sugar results from 2006 to Aug 2013, its graph, name of Long Wheat in some other languages etc.
Please tell your medicines & dosages, details of food/drink intake like what, when & how much from one morning to next morning; that only will give a picture of your state for us to give you some specific advice.

Even if you are a qualified doctor, I am superior because I have cured my diabetes.
I had some patients abroad (outside India). One was 22 years with diabetes, taking almost 100 units of insulin & some tabs. Within two months his medicines were reduced to one-third. When I felt that he must be a qualified medical person, to my straight question he said he is an engineer - may be body engineer like civil engineer, mechanical engineer etc. 
. Soon after that he stopped answering my mails & reporting progress probably because he might have felt that he can manage things himself. BUT IT HAS MADE ME VERY UNHAPPY.
I have had similer problem. I went to a Diabitic center and they did not correlate feet numbness to diabetes since my A1C was only 6.8 and the doctor who treated me has diabetes with A1C 7.3. I did not buy his argument and I went to a neurologist. After scanning the neurologist told me," in rare cases this numbness happens at low A!C like your case". He told me this is neurological inflamation. He gave me a medicine called, "Nucleo C.M.R Forte for 3 months and I am now fine. This is two months ago, but I found out I had to reduce the dose now. Early on, with numbness I could not sleep. My advice, go and see a neurologist to establish if your case is like mine. I wish you best of luck..

How much medicin to be used to start with. My right foot is totaly numb where is other is starting. Pl advise. If you don't mind let me have your contact number so that I can discuss and get your proper guidance. My mob no, is 9873845947. I am 71 yrs and diabetic since 1983. Fbs is 93_115 and Hb1ac is 6.5. Two hrs of lunch is 180_200.
Yrahuja 1942: May I repeat! Better see a neurologist to make sure if your problem is similar to mine and he is to decide the dose. I gave the name of the medicine I used which helped me and you can pass it one to your neurologist. Let him decide if it fits you, then he may decide the dose. My best wishes to you all.
hi abusuhail, HbA1c 6.8 is low compared to 7.3 or other large numbers but it is higher than normal value. That is why you got neuropathy, I feel.
My right foot is numb. I am trying hard with the morning walk and some exercise to moblise the blood for ciculation. I am 71 yrs and have diabetic since 1983. If you could advise some harbals for my foot and antiaging. I shall contact you today 22nd sept. If I fail please do advise on this mail.
Mr.EM George, I agree with you. There should be no personal communication unless due to nature if it is warranted.

Hi Ranga sir,
Thank you for the support of my view. I came across your reply by mere chance. I did not get a mail probably because you used the normally provided 'Reply' window at the bottom of the page instead of opening a specific window to me by clicking the "Reply to this" button at the bottom of my reply/response.
One can confirm this by the positioning & alignment of the reply after submitting it.
Sorry for pointing it out, if it is out of place.
