For those of us lucky to suffer from Type 2 Diabetes, I spent the night having pain spasms in my left foot every five minutes. The pain hits the little toe and the two next to it. The spasms only last 3 to 5 seconds so just enough to be annoying. On a scale of 1-10, I'd say the pain intensity was an 8.

See your doctor. That is a sign of advancing diabetes. They may also prescribe a drug that helps with neuralgia, though they are not always effective.

Yep. That's one of the signs that it's getting worse and your blood sugar is too high. Diabetic nerve pain is a sure sign.

On the other hand, the severe foot pain lasted only 24 hours and I've had Diabetic Nerve Pain for three years now.

On July 12th I talked about pain in my right side. This morning at 5:08 I passed a kidney stone. Hooray. This makes 37 stones I've had since 1969 but the first one since 2000.

Had you collected them you could have made yourself a rosary.

I used to have a jar full of them but my former roomies stole them thinking they had value. Alas.

I just took my blood sugar: it was 330 so I took 8 mgs of the new insulin.

WAY too high. Those spikes are what cause complications.
I find anything over 120 intolerable.

It was my fault, I splurged on two bear claws.
