Kathy replied to Gary's discussion 'Benfotiamine' in the group Neuropathy"The affect on Blood Pressure isn't huge. Just wanted to let you know to be aware of it."
neilin replied to Gary's discussion 'Benfotiamine' in the group Neuropathy"Thanks for your information! I was not aware of the affect to blood pressure."
Kathy replied to Gary's discussion 'Benfotiamine' in the group Neuropathy"I think the average dosage is around 600 mg a day but for pain I have seen it go even higher. I think you can read on the http://www.benefotiamine.org a and see what they are using. Remember it doesn't work like the regular type of pain pill…"
Peetie replied to Gary's discussion 'Benfotiamine' in the group Neuropathy"Thanks. I have all my annual appointments during the next 2 months. My foot doctor is really good. I see him at the beginning of July. Just joined this group at the end of May. Lots of great tips. Good luck to you with the Benfotiamine. :)"
neilin replied to Gary's discussion 'Benfotiamine' in the group Neuropathy"It does make you a bit scared at first. Have you had your tingling diagnosed, yet? Once I was diagnosed with the neuropathy, it made seeking and researching treatment options easier for me."
neilin replied to Gary's discussion 'Benfotiamine' in the group Neuropathy"I have neuropathy in my feet, and read your post a few days ago and checked out the website you mentioned.
I bought some Benfotiamine 150mg capsules three days ago. The first day, I took one capsule to see if I would have any adverse reaction. Now,…"
Peetie replied to Gary's discussion 'Benfotiamine' in the group Neuropathy"Just started to feel the tingling in Feb/Mar. So scared! Thanks so much for this advice!"

My Diabetes Story - part 3

After rereading yesterdays blog, I realize I was really on my soap box yesterday...sorry.
It didn't take me nearly as log to adapt to pumping as I thought it might. I had to struggle for a while trying to find a decent infusion site, but eventually found a rotation that worked for me. It also took a while before I learned to trust the pump to do it's job, which it really does very well. Because I am very active at work, walking for several hours a day, I had to develop a routine that… Continue
