Hi Louise,
i have CP but I don't have any diabetes although at times I'm very close.
i imagine this would make your life that just a little harder. Can I suggest that you have a look at a place called www.questforlife.com.au and Oetrea King who is the founding member. My doctors over the last 8 odd years have just kept adding pills after pills after pills to the point that I was taking close to 20 pills of one type or another, my intuition told me I was being well and truly being over medicated so I've gone down the path of ridding my body of all of the opioids, I'm close but have another 4 odd months to go. The opioids have given me so many affects other than pain relief which has led me to reducing my meds on my own accord, and by intuition.
if I can be of any help please don't hesitate to email me at [email protected] or txt me at 0474 229 113.
ps are you in mMelbourne.
Dave
