WHAT IS NEPHROPATHY?

[Guest guest]

I GET REAL BAD CRAMPING PAIN IN MY FEET. SOME FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN A DIABETIC

FOR LONGER THEN I HAVE, TELL ME THAT IT IS NEPHROPATHY CAUSED FROM BAD SUGAR

CONTROL. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I DO MUCH BETTER WITH CONTROLLING MY SUGAR FOR

WEEKS AT A TIME, THE PAIN IN MY FEET DOES SLOW DOWN. BUT IF I START BACK TO

EATING MORE CA4RBS THEN I KNOW I SHOULD THE CRAMPS OR PAIN STARTS COMING BACK

REALLY BAD IN THE FEET. SOME ONE ONCE TOLD ME THAT YOU CAN'T REVERSE THE

COMPLICATIONS CAUSED FROM BAD SUGAR CONTROL, BUT YOU CAN STOP THEM FROM GETTING

WORSE IF YOU GET YOUR A1C UNDER CONTROL.

NOW ONE MORE QUESTION PLEASE. WHY ARE WE WHO ARE DIABETICS NOT SUPPOSE TO

EAT FRESH FRUIT? I SEE THAT A ORANGE ONLY HAS 15 CARBS. LOOKS LIKE IF I WAS

EATING 90 CARBS IN A DAY, THEN ONE ORANGE COULD BE FIT IN OK. I DO KNOW THAT

SOME FRUIT IS REALLY HIGHER AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED. THEY ALWAYS SAY IF YOU WISH

TO BE HEALTHY, THEN EAT LOTS OF FRUIT AND VEGGIES EVERY DAY AND WHOLE GRAINS AS

WELL WITH NUTS. I KNOW THAT FRUIT JUICE IS REALLY NOTHING MORE THEN SUGAR WATER

AND REALLY BAD FOR A DIABETIC. SEEMS TO ME GIVING UP FRESH FRUIT IS NOT A GOOD

IDEA FOR ANY ONE. BUT I DO KNOW IF THE ORANGE HAS 15 CARBS AND YOU DON'T EAT

MORE THEN 30 CARBS IN A WHOLE DAY, THEN THE ORANGE IS HALF OF THE CARBS YOU ARE

EATING IN THE WHOLE DAY. I GET TO REALLY WISHING FOR SOME THING SWEET AND

KNOWING THAT SUGAR IS REAL BAD. BUT I CAN EAT A ORANGE OR ANOTHER PIECE OF FRUIT

AND KIND OF MAKE MY SELF HAPPY AND NOT EAT THE CANDY OR THE DOUGHNUT.

SO CAN THIS NEPHROPATHY HAPPEN TO OTHER PARTS OF YOUR BODY BE SIDES THE

FEET? CAN IT CAUSE PAIN LIKE THAT EVERY WHERE IN THE BODY? SUPPOSE I SHOULD GO

ON THE NET AND JUST LOOK IT UP AND READ ABOUT IT. I HAD MY FIRST HEART ATTACK

BACK IN 07 AND HATE TO THINK OF HAVING ANOTHER ONE ANY DAY SOON. THINK I WILL

GIVE UP EATING AND SEE IF I CAN JUST LIVE ON WATHER? I'M ONLY A TYPE 2 DIABETIC

AND MIGHT CAN GET AWAY WITH SKIPPING A MEAL ONCE A DAY AND LOSE WEIGHT AND

CONTROL THE A1C BETTER! THANKS FOR ANY GRATE INFORMATION YOU GUYS ALWAYS PUT OUT

ON THE LIST. I DON'T POST MUCH, BUT I DO READ EVERYTHING YOU TALK ABOUT. MOST

FOLKS I TELL ABOUT HOW GRATE THIS LIST IS WITH WONDERFUL INFORMATION ON HOW TO

CONTROL YOUR DIABETES AND LIVE A BETTER LIFE, WELL THEY ASK ME IF ANY OF YOU ARE

DOCTOR'S? WELL PROBABLY NOT AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY THEY ARE STILL LIVING AND

NOT SIX FEET UNDER. BUT THEY ONLY WISH TO GO BY ONLY WHAT THERE DOCTOR IS

TELLING THEM AND THEY MOSTLY ALL FEEL REALLY BAD AND THERE A1C IS OUT OF SITE.
