ORIGINAL: DesFIP From what I've read, most type IIs will eventually need to move up to insulin. Hasn't happened yet to either him nor my brother, but once the damage to the liver is done, it doesn't regenerate. Nor eye damage. If you haven't had a thorough examination by an ophthalmologist, go do so. Not sure that the above is totally accurate, as far as the insulin goes. I'm a nurse and Type II is insulin resistant diabetes mellitus, the pancreas is producing enough insulin but the cells are not accepting it and so there is more circulating in the bloodstream. Think of square pegs fitting into round holes. You were DEAD on with any kind of foot torture, but that would be more geared toward diabetic slaves/subs. Unfortunately I have witnessed the absolute worst things that diabetes can do in respect to feet, and one doesn't soon forget the smell of gangrene or the sound of someone screaming in pain when being treated for this. That all being said, as a dominant you could make part of your girl's daily rituals care of your feet (I do this for my Master, he teases me about my preoccupation with his feet)) You could have your girl wash your feet (being careful not to leave any soap, water or lotions in between toes), have her check your feet for feeling (a diabetic may ultimately lose feeling in them and not even know it), Have her check your feet for any wounds that you may not feel. She could also check your pedal pulses to make sure that they are beating at a healthy pace. (look around online to find the anatomy to find this spot) NEVER allow her to cut your toenails, as this should be done by a podiatrist or someone qualified to do diabetic foot care. As was mentioned above, always make sure that you've eaten properly before, and have snacks available for during play as well as life in general. There are many aspects of your illness that your girl can learn about and help you with. Diet, exercise and making or reminding you to make appointments for opthamologists, endocrinologists, A1C blood work, podiatrists and the like. She can track when it's time for you to purchase new shoes (as this is very important). Hope some or any of this was helpful ~freedom Edited for clarification
