man, as a type one myself it sucks to have a limb lose feeling.

My father-in-law has almost no blood flow to his feet and had a serious ulcer. He got some kind of weird vaccum boot treatment that completely healed him, by increasing blood flow through daily pumping by the vacuum boot. I’m not sure where this treatment is available; I’m not sure who is a good prospect for this treatment; I’m not sure why I haven’t heard more about it.

All I know is that this man was healed. He had chronic problems for 5 years and amputation seemed inevitable. He now has had a normal, ulcer free, life for 18 months and doctors tell him that he can expect that to continue indefinately.

Diabetics can spend the last months of their lives having limbs cut off a piece at a time. Horrible thing.
