I do not know if you are type 1 or 2, but if you want to live, much less keep your feet and legs, you must live with the rules of diabetes as the Pope lives Catholicism. You must get a competent doctor, to competently put you on a proper regimen, count ever calorie that goes in your mouth, regularly test your blood and regularly take APPROPRIATE shots.
If you are type 2, a proper diet-- Atkins Diet, for instance-- will make a HUGE, unbelievable change… if you follow it religiously. If you are type 1, then your only friend and ally is HABIT AND ROUTINE.
I am 50 years a type one. I have all ten toes, 20/20 vision, two functional kidneys. I have had trouble with my femoral arteries (legs) in the recent past, but if you want to live, you have got to get serious about it. Otherwise, it is not going to be pretty.
