Sunny, my Dr. mentioned once that diabetic neuropathy
often follows peripheral neuropathy. Of course, I
hope that does not happen to me but that may be in
your case. I do not know if this group has a
moderator and maybe Christy does since I am rather new
to groups. You must have started college like I did
when your kids were getting older. I minored in
psychology and loved it. I admire you for doing this.
I will make a separate email with my beginnings of
neuropathy. For now, Lois
