My brother in law had very similar symptoms, and after many bad doctors, found out it was the beginnings of diabetes. High blood sugar was damaging nerve endings in his feet and hands. Medical industry made a ton of money of him with MRIs, cat-scans, pain meds, etc.. But what he needed was a modified diet. Anyway, checking your blood sugar is cheap and easy.

“ Anyway, checking your blood sugar is cheap and easy.”

Now seeeee
That is something I’ve never thought of.
I’m only vaguely aware that those are probably over-the-counter easy to find.

I know I eat too much sugar.
I used to have either ice cream and milk or cookies and milk almost every night.
Lately it’s been both almost every night.
I have a new plan in place
Only eat sweet stuff on holidays. There’s a lot of of them.
Sometimes two a month if you count days like MLK.
I’m starting my third day without sweets.
Plus, I now look forward to all holidays.

But I never thought about checking my blood sugar level with something diabetic use that they can get over-the-counter.
Thank you.
