Living With Diabetes in Prison

By
Jon

Jon writes from a prison in VIC.

Willy Pleasance

Hello readers,

I have been incarcerated now for 25 years and I am suffering from a diabetes related sore feet nerve condition. I have no feeling in my feet, and as the nerves have nothing to do they attack my feet 24/7. I am writing to see if anyone else is suffering from this condition and, if so, could let me know what you are taking and if they are effective?

As I am sure you know if you suffer from this condition, it is a real burden on your health and day-to-day activities.

If you can help, please send your letter to About Time – thank you.
