to Cheeky, fr. JOHN V.
Cheeky, I don’t see another name, at your age you
should be on the pump. Mind you I’m not and take many
needles. Still may go on it at age 71.<br
cannot buy it privately from your own money and depend
on a doctor who works for an insurance company and
not for you.<br
to get the opinion of another doctor, a dislodged
needle from the pump does happen occasionally but is no
reason not to be on the pump. At your age in particular,
try to find the $ 5,000. required to buy it. The toes
HAVE to be looked at by a responsible docter. If my
doctor advised me like yours I be long gone. Still you
must understand I cannot give doctor’s advise because
I have no papers to that effect. Just pure
experience.<br
have plenty of room? I wouldn’t run in a marathon with
your toes, but walking every day is good for the
circulation.<br

Dear, dear reliable John thank you for your info
actually for the years we pack in living with diabetes i
think we are far more knowlegable than most drs.<br
shoes are fine infact they are the same for ones for
the past 18 months but now my toes are hurting. and
today i did something really stupid i ate cadbury
chocolate feel guilty as hell infact its not the first time
and i hope its the last though.<br
is different from yours we have insurance my
husband’s work where ny diabetes is not covered, state
hospitals and private hospitals. private hospitals are
moron drs and are very expensive i am treated at the
national guard hosp. hence the american/canadian drs etc.
and everything there is free from all operations to
the alcohol swabs.its a restricted hospital and not
open to all but the care is very good but i am now
facing this reluctance to try the pump. i will try
again. most of the patients there do not understand
english or the first thing about diabetes and the dr is
worried i might not know how to operate the machine !!!
but i think i need to be a little more assertive. my
eye dental work are all done at the same place also
both my younger ones were delivered there. they have
treated me for the last 12 years unfortunately not by the
same doctor they have a high dr turn over so sfter i
get used to one he/she is replaced by another and we
start from abc all over again. some of the dr’s i get
along with and some i don’t usually trust quite that
easily. one insisted i should do urine test only, when i
was showing my blood results!! imagine me listening
to anything he says after that!! <br
this is getting very long any other info on neuropathy
i would love and especially to reverse the
effects.<br
