Given your love of poultry, I was going to suggest a chicken leg. But then I thought you could use 1MOREMOD legs instead...they are basically interchangeable.
After all, both of the above animals have skipped leg day more than Huckleberry Finn skipped school.  |
I'd go chicken before
1MOREMOD . It's not a given or anything, it's a matter of control of the SWINGS in blood sugar. The tiny vessels throughout the body suffer from those blood sugar level swings, and micro-aneurisms occur. This can lead to peripheral gangrene and the loss of limbs.
I had to wake up a bit when they did those laser fixes in my eye. I remember vividly during initial diagnosis that I was going to take care of myself, I didn't want to lose any fingers/toes/go blind.
Diabetic neuropathy can be nasty, but is usually without pain. My wife's uncle did construction, and was a non-practicing diabetic. He came home one day and couldn't get his boot off. His niece tried, and found the nail thru his boot/foot. He didn't go back to work the next week because he no longer had a foot to put in his boot.
