So apparently my feet aren't all that touchy-feely anymore. They've always been dodgy, even pre-diabetes, so I'm not surprised. I need to take care that little one doesn't run over them with trucks, that I don't get blisters, etc.

Apparently acupuncture has good results for nerve damage in feet and so does cayenne cream. I think that's what it is. I can't spell the actual name at the moment. Also going to try alpha-lipoic acid. It's good that I'm getting some contract work so that I can actually afford these supplements!

I must avoid visions of me with no feet. I'm going to cut down on my carbs again and try to reduce my A1C slightly, while keeping to few lows. Sigh. That is hard. I'm pretty insulin sensitive, so it's hard to live on the lower side of normal because any missteps and I end up in the basement, blood sugar wise.

On the plus side, it is sunny, slightly snowy, and very cool, and we're going for a hike!
