"I live in Houston, Texas. I can buy the Humulin-R over the counter, without a prescription; for a cost of $24.88 per bottle; it is NOT available in the pens. I take Lantus 60 units in the morning; and then I take Humalog usually 20 units before each…"

"Love your name. If you wanna control your diabetes, you M-U-S-T count carbs. There is no other way. I have never learned how to do this; so I do a blind Insulin/Carbohydrate ratio treatment regimen. I take 20 to 25 units of Humalog before each meal…"

Treatment for diabetic peripheral neuropathy [pain in both feet]

Has anyone taken WSN® Nerve Support Formula? It is advertised on the internet and they have a lot of testimonials about the success of their product. A 30-day supply is $44.20, and once they get your credit card number they continuously send you the product automatically without asking for your confirmation or your OK. I was just wondering if anyone here has tried this product. Thanks.See More

If you go to the home page of the site -- scroll down to the bottom of the Latest Activity section in the center of the page. You will see a hyperlink that says "Add Discussion" - click on that and you can then add a forum discussion. I also found a group for diabetic neuropathy on the site at http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/diabeticneuropathy. I know there are a number of people here with neuropathy. I bet if you post a forum from the home page with that "add discussion" link, you'll get a lot of responses.
