The best way to improve your circulation is to control your blood glucose!!! Keep eating right, check your sugar and take your medicine. I am a nurse and have seen many double amputees who are blind and on hemodialysis because they were in denial about being diabetic or just didn't care to take care of themselves. (And some are young and were embarrassed about being diabetic, so they were non compliant with their meds.) So just take your medicine, control your glucose level, eat right, exercise and live your life.
It is hard being so young and having to deal with this lifetime disease. But you can control your diabetes instead of letting it control you!!
And check with your doctor about that Aspirin before you start taking it!!
the best advice is stop making your diet up with fatty sugar free foods there are many other low fat low calorie options which will not increase your cholestorol levels
walking a lot and staying on my meds and watching my diet have worked for me
Asprin will thin your blood out and you don't want to have blood so thin that you cant give blood for testing. Exercise helps with blood circulation and as a diabetic you need to keep your weight down to maintain blood sugar.
Acai juice is great for blood circulation. Several of my friends that are diabetic have benefited from drinking Acai juice.
Would you allow me to send some information to you on this amazing nutritional beverage? The juice contains the most potent antioxidant in the world -- the Acai Berry. Since you asked about blood circulation and diabetes, I thought you might be interested. Please let me know if you would like to receive the information on the juice. Thank you for your time.

I am a type one diabetic. I have been diabetic for twenty three years and I beleive the best way to improve blood circulation is:
Control your bloodsugars
Stay fit-be physically active
Eat right
Bad circulation in your legs, feet and hands are main areas for diabetics. I suggest taking the time to walk for a half hour a day. Make sure you are not wearing tight socks, or socks that get tight at your ankles. Make sure your shoes are not tied too tight. At night don't wear socks, let your skin breath. In the winter dress extra warm, in the summer dress extra cool.
Eat a good diet, pay attention to serving sizes, carbs, and natural sugars. Stay away from soda, but try to drink one serving of whole milk a day. Drink a good amount of water.
Make sure you are monitoring your bloodsugars and taking the right amount of insulin when you need it.
Basically live healthily-Diabetic or not!!
