Re: Side effects

In addition to the other symptoms I mentioned in this thread, I also notice
in the morning that my pillow cases are wet. Another symptom of diabetes?

I also confirmed with a friend yesterday that I had diabetes only after he
acknowledged he had it as well. I'm not sure why I feel embarrassed about
telling friends or relatives but I don't.

Anyway, he told me that soda was the worst thing I could drink, which I knew
all along but he had mentioned that I should not go barefoot as the feet
sometimes may not receive enough circulation to detect stepping on glass,
nails, etc. He had said this once happened to his father many years ago.Any
truth to this?

I always go barefoot in the house and sometimes outside during the summer
months.

Thanks again.
