Being a nurse, I have always known that excess weight is not healthy. It leads to cardiac, diabetic, orthopedic, vascular and many other system problems. However for years I was grossly overweight.

I gained weight when I was pregnant with my last child (she is now 27) and I yo-yo dieted for many years, never leading to any success. Lose a few...gain alot!

(HealthDay News) - Diabetics are prone to many complications, particularly if their blood sugar levels aren't well controlled.

Diabetic neuropathy, or nerve damage, makes it difficult for the nerves to send signals to other parts of the body. The symptoms described below should be evaluated by a physician without delay.

The American Academy of Family Physicians lists these warning signs of nerve damage in diabetics:

* Numbness, particularly in the fingers or toes.
* Sharp pains or a tingling sensation.
* Sores found on the feet.
* Weakness in the muscles.
