Welcome to the Forum!

I am sorry to hear of your foot loss. I am sure that it is a terrible inconvenience, as I have previously been on crutches for an extended period of time and that was not fun. Good luck with the prosthetic, most people using them say that they work well after they get them adjusted correctly.

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

I'm sorry to hear about your foot. My legs hurt me a lot my feet are always freezing . My cardiac surgeon thinks it's diabetes . I'm on blood thinner for my heart and arteries after two heart surgeries.
