Please think positive thoughts for my sister

She is my best friend and is truly suffering. She developed diabetic neuropathy months ago. She has tried so hard to bring her sugar down but it is erratic. It is now to the point She has to be in a wheelchair if she goes out. The numbness in her feet is awful and she can barely feel it anymore. Some parts of neuropathy cannot be reversed. She is only 36. It is just heartwrenching thinking that some of this will not heal in her feet. I feel just horrible and helpless. She is the Kindest person you will ever know and doesn't deserve this on any level. She may get surgery if the insurance covers it (nerve decompression). Please send positive vibes if you can. Any tips welcome.

I will send your sister positive thoughts and prayers. I have no tips, but my brother suffered from a condition once he could not feel his fingers and he was dealing with small children. He had to have his wife come into the bathroom just to feel the temperature of the water for him to not worry about burning his children's hands. His surgery while restorative could have left him debilitated entirely.
