Hi,

Found this online there are many articles on the subject so give google a turn. Clearly with diabetes there are so many side effects to this disease. With both my brother and myself being diabetic I see so many interesting problems. But my younger brother is further down the line than myself, he has lost toes, 'shark fin' bones growing out of his feet, no feelings in his legs and feet and totally insulin dependant. While I tried to resolve issues by active methods of reducing such symptoms my brother does not. But I must admit after reading this article I am now aware of more effects of this disease, does it ever end. The article looks at electric shock treatment like TENS which is fairly cheap, as low as a tenner online. I like the relaxation technique sounds more my cup of tea, or coffee for me!

''Many people with diabetes experience discomfort in their legs and feet, with symptoms such as cramping, numbness, tingling, and pain. The culprits may be poor circulation, nerve damage, or both, and the underlying causes are referred to as peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and peripheral neuropathy. While both appear to be triggered by high blood glucose levels and some of their symptoms overlap'' Diabetes Self Management
