I've been posting in other MeeGo/N9 communities and forums, so now that you've officially killed the bug tracker, I still expect the same kind of service and hold you accountable to the continued development of my purchase.
I just noticed that my videos are a teeny, tiny bit jerky after updating to PR 1.2. At first, I figured it was because of Smartsearch rebuilding an index of all my files, but it's been 3 days now, and I noticed my videos (H.264, Divx, and even Xvid for crying out loud) are a little bit jerky. It's like it skips a frame or two. They used to play as smooth as butter prior to the update. Yes, all videos are not HD. They all have the resolution of the N9's screen. H.264 files are baseline profiles too.
And for the record, there were no running apps in the background, smartsearch isn't eating up and CPU cycles (confirmed through top in terminal), tried rebooting but still got the same results. It's not really laggy like when you play HD videos on the N9, but it is noticeable to a trained eye.
Was wondering i anyone else experienced this.
10-03-2012 11:21
Yes I can confirm this, same thing noticed.
10-03-2012 15:13
Same here on PR 1.2 64Go model. With the stock video player approximatively every 1 second there is a tiny freeze of the picture or it's like if a frame dropped.
It ruins the experience of looking movies on N9. It happens on any kind of video ( low profile, h264, mp4, etc ... even respecting the recommandation of video encoding setting by developer-nokia.com ).
Technically i found one thing : if i remove the sound track ( with Handbrake, option "remove" track in "audio" ) of any video and reencode it, the result play fine like this shoud be ( but without sound like the film "the artist" )
Well... i bought the 64Go model to store my video but i can't play any of them correctly. Realy annoying. Need help.

I noticed that the problem of jerky video playback disappears when I have earphones plugged in, which I find very, very, very odd. Still, I will not accept this as a solution, and I demand a fix. A Nokia representative could at least reply and acknowledge the problem.
24-03-2012 1:46
Third-party video players do not exhibit this problem, so it means that there's something wrong with the built-in video player of the N9 using PR 1.2. Like I said, the problem wasn't there when I was still on PR 1.1.
25-03-2012 19:30 - edited 25-03-2012 19:38
As third-party video player, the solution i found is to play video with kmplayer and Mplayer.
The question is why there are so few people that seem to have this problem ?
25-03-2012 21:47
I've got exactly the same problem with the stock video player on my PR1.2 N9. Unfortunately, I can't get OVP to work (and it's the first time I install it, only got my N9 a week...) and I don't like KMPlayer very much at the moment.
Is there any way to find out whether or not this problem will be adressed by Nokia in PR1.3 or report this bug one way or another?
26-03-2012 4:08
Well, at least it's comforting to know that I am not the only one having this problem. Currently, there is no way to file a bug report, since Nokia decided it was not important to keep their MeeGo customers engaged in conversation with them. I mean, we're just paying customers, that's all. /sarcasm
Hopefully, a Nokia representative will see this thread and respond. If they closed their bug tracker, and told us that we can still report problems in their official forums, I expect the same kind of interaction we had when the bug tracker was still alive.

Look at this tread, another case...

I have the exact same issue and it is annoying as hell - bought the 64 GB model to store most of my music and videos and now the movies are impossible to watch as they all skips frames every other second no matter what video I playback.
To me this is something that warrants a quick hotfix from Nokia asap!
07-04-2012 6:01
I'm very surprised not a single Nokia representative replied. At the very least, they could come in and say that they are looking into the problem. This is the Support forums, right? We've had more luck with interacting with MeeGo devs in the now-defunct Bug tracker.
07-04-2012 14:45
I have a 16GB BLUE version (made in finland) and SAME problem !
25-04-2012 11:36
Anyone know of a workaround to prevent this issue or any alternative player you can use (that actually works)?

Morning fragrant ones,
It's cold and very wet up here
I've decided to go with L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme. Yummy!
Hope everyone has a lovely day
....Good morning..
.. Zino
Morning all,
Wearing the fresh, dewy Sa Majesté la Rose today. Even managed to coordinate with my Pen Ink of the Day, which is the beautiful Moroccan Rose (by Noodler's Inks).
Best to everyone.
Bulgari Black today.
Hope all are well.
Good morning everyone. I took a notion as soon as my eyes were open to dip into my little tray of Histoires De Parfums samples. So, 1725 (Casanova). The most wonderful citrus/lavender/anise/beeswaxy/amber vanilla. Old furniture polish!! Lovely.
A long dental procedure today so after showering it will be just some Cologne, not sure which yet. Actualaaaaaay, some Blenheim Bouquet, from a tiny bottle I have!
Jaipur Homme
Hi everyone.
Wearing Dzing! today.
My my how I love it. And its been a while too. There was enough of a gap for me to call it a rekindling experience.
I forgot how animalic yet domesticated it is at the same time. As if a farmer walked into a parlor at a posh hotel.
.................................................. ....Eau Lente
Up early, I have a Sales Meeting at the office and all of my realtors will be in the office at the same time, always a maddening experience. So it's something powerful & comforting:

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am.

Y'all have a great day!

Pacifica Persian Rose, one of them cases -- why don't I wear it more often?
Good morning everyone! Today I'm wearing Pure Oud by Kilian.
Good morning!
It's cold this morning, only 13 degrees, but the sun is out and it's suppose
to warm up a little today. Hopefully all our ice from the weekend will melt.
Hugs and to Twolf & Kalli.
My SotD is Mona di Orio Les Nombres d'Or Ambre.
Have a great day!
Foustie; the only part that I liked about going to the dentist was the laughing gas. Do they even offer it in the UK? I haven't a clue. Anyway, wear lots of cologne to distract yourself
Hello. Another hectic day.
SOTD is Tubereuse Criminelle... it's twisted and fun!

Everyone smells wonderful today! Especially you two, Evangeline and Twolf!
(((Foustie))), no fun! Poor gel, I hope your procedure goes absolutely perfectly, with as little pain as possible.
I smell pretty darned good today, too- I'm starting on Whitefluffy's HdP tuberose pass; wearing Tubereuse 1 La Capricieuse. Loving this one so far, looks like it will be a tough act for the others to follow.
Thank you all again for your sweet words and beautiful pics yesterday, I truly loved them all! Had a great day and my BN family helped make it so. The kindest and classiest of people gather here!
The nose wants what it wants!

Ooooh, Foustie, I just got a reminder email from my dentist to make an appointment for a checkup. Good luck today. Also, I love HdP 1725. You sent me a set of samples and I so enjoyed trying those. 1725 is brilliant.
Easyfish, I like your pic today, too.
I haven't chosen a SotD yet. It's rainy and chilly and I can't decide. Maybe some kind of layering experiment with rose, inspired by....
Gandhajala, I love the idea of Ink of the Day! I may start using a fountain pen again. I have an old one somewhere. Your roses sound lovely today. I was at the botanical gardens yesterday, sniffing away at the last of the roses. Each one has its own scent. I really enjoy that.
Love to you all.
E., that's one stunning picture of a Voilette de Madame. Do you know who was posing for this shot? I want to look like this when I grow up. Do you?
Thanks for the hugs. Baking bread, -6C outside.
Hugs back...wearing overly loud Chanel Chance. I think it's pretty loud anyway..imo.
Congrats, RHM for reaching 3,000 posts!
Yay to RHM for her prolific posting !!!!
I'm in Dior Hypnotic Poison today. So dreamy and smooth.
Enjoy !

LadyM, as usual, fantastic photo and pairing with the twisted Tubereuse Criminelle. Brava!
Good luck, Foustie. May you feel as little as possible. You'll smell wonderful, though.
I'm house twins with PerfumedLady and momentary house twins with Foustie in HdP Ambre 114.
Lordy, I had my Holy Trinity of Ambers all set (Ambre Sultan, Ambre Russe, and Amber Absolute). It looks like I'll have to expand that to ... hmmm ... what is both superlative and focused on 4 ...? How about the Cardinal Ambers? (After the cardinal directions?)
In any event, I love Ambre 114 more and more with every wearing. This (along with Mazzolari Patchouly) may be my next full-bottle purchase.
SOTD: Notre Cedre Flore by L'Occitane.
I'm enjoying my day off today wearing Bond Andy Warhol. I love this plum and incense combo!
Have a great day, everyone!
I've trademarked the color bleu

I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Scented ink, farmers in posh pad parlors, the Roadrunner (beep-beep) -- how could I not love the likes of you folks!?!
Hugs to dental-bound Foustie and all those who need a pick-me-up.
In honor of your birthday, I've bought myself a present (the orange one). I think I might be on my way to adding bag-a-nista to my perfumista credentials.
I missed the big day,
but I'd still like to celebrate your birthday,
I'm wearing Ineke's Hothouse Flower in order to make humble proclamations about it within Kalli's dedicated thread.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.

Thanks everyone!
The forum has changed A LOT since I joined in October 2005. So happy to have my online family to "visit".
The Orientialists were too shouty this morning, so I substituted Annick Goutal Eau de Sud (which I adore) instead.
Mandragore for later this afternoon and work.

Wow! Congratulations RHM! Well done. Wishing you many many more!
Well guys. Look away if you are squeamish.
Yeah. So. Implant Surgery, yeah. Not the most fun I have had of an afternoon. Especially since the big bony gourd that is your cranium works like an amplifier when your dental surgeon is drilling into bone. Dying for a hot cuppa tea but between the risk of dribbling, and thinking that my stitches won't agree with that choice of beveridge, I will wait. I can smell though. Ha! So, getting stuck into samples.
Good Evening,
Big congrats on your posting milestone, RHM. Here's to the next 3000 !
Lilybelle - You *must* dig out that fountain pen. A favourite pen, nice ink and a pad of Clairefontaine paper = bliss. Scent-synching is optional
Poor Foustie. Hope someone is giving you plenty of tea and sympathy (and icecream).
En Avion tonight.
Best to all.
Congratulations on your big ol' posting milestone RHM - very impressive!

Good evening peeps, hope you managed through the day, some better ,some worse:-)
The pleasure of going to the dentist is that you will have nice teeth after:-) , and hopefully less problems , and my dentist is phenomenal!! A friend from London is coming over soon and visiting my dentist, its called dental tourism :-) , much cheaper over here!
I came back home smelling as i left it, fresh and beautifully after 31 Rue Cambon :-)

Yay, Quarry! I love orange bags.
Yes, G., I'm going to dig out that pen before the sun goes down today.
Evangeline smells wonderful, as usual.
I finally settled on Bal a Versailles edc today. This is such a strange scent for me. I'm enjoying getting to know it. Earlier today, I had the impression of smelling like having been with a lover, driving in the car on my way to the post office, that sense of someone else's body scent and their perfume on me - and not wanting it to go away or wash off. Now, later in the afternoon, I have an impression of honey and a warm, animalic aspect, but I have to stick my head down my shirt to inhale it. It wears very close to the skin. I'm in love with my own scent, lol! This one is a shape shifter.
Gandhajala, thanks for mentioning your special ink! Noodler's has a new customer! Congrats RHM! Quarry, I *love* that burnt orange color—very nice! ((((Foustie)))) Ouch-- hope they gave you a nice supply of painkillers to keep you comfy while you heal up. Evangeline, you smell fabulous!!! I went with Private Collection today.
So far today I've worn I Love NY for Her, AL Ambre Fonce, Amouage Sandalwood Attar and DSH Bourbon Vanilla.
Prada Candy for me today on this nippy November day
Thanks to a lovely BNer, testing Jasmin De Nuit & Epic Woman. Jasmin reminds me a lot of Musc Ravageur as it dries down. Smells a bit minty at first, maybe it's the cardamom. I don't get a lot of jasmine in it really, there is some, a red, warm jasmine but it's not a soliflore by any means. I thought I got an iris-y note in Jasmin though it's not listed as one of the notes. Something earthy. And I don't think I've smelled a scent like Epic before. I do like the rose in Epic..impressive scent.

lily, glad you enjoy it
did you consider opening a new thread on Bav EDT versions and reformulations hehe
i just tested for the first time Frederic Malle L eau d Hiver!! i dont like minimalist compositions, especially from Un jardin series ,where they feel to me like Jean Claude Ellena did not eat for days hehe ... but this one is gorgeous !! it has iris , wet one, not powdery, heliotrope, that makes it creamy to my nose....and just touch of honey, it gives it sweetnes of a flower...nothing more....perfect scent for the office! feminine, elegant, and i read long lasting! very wearable! clean, not cold! not ordinary and not boring BUT white!!!
@Foustie...Hope you're mouth feels better soon... ouch
sotd I keep having to retry Mandy's Oud Luban on just to check to see if I like it.... I don't but I do, then I don't, then I do
Late posting, but wearing Adrienne Vittadini.
Good evening, all. Jailia today

Singing lieutenant's legacy lives on
Beth Sholom award honors employee, resident 'idol'
In his last 12 years of life, Art Heller coped with a debilitating stroke, a move from his lifelong home in New Jersey, and the stress of adjusting to serious health limitations and life in an assisted living facility and new town.
But he didn't simply meet the challenge gracefully, say those who knew him. He excelled at his new life, won over an entire community of residents and employees in his new home, and went on to become an icon of the community who is still revered today.
Although the World War II veteran passed away in 2004 – on Veteran's Day – his name still comes up frequently in conversations at Beth Sholom. From his stellar singing voice to his enthusiasm for baseball and his charismatic personality, Heller continues to live prominently in the memories of his Beth Sholom family.
"The staff at the home absolutely adored him," says Arthur's son, Dan. "He had a personality that was able to engage everyone."
Heller recalls that when family members visited other residents of the home, and their own relatives were not doing well, they would seek out Art Heller to get the lift in spirits they needed.
"They'd stop and see my dad and just spend a few minutes, and then they'd tell me how good it made them feel," says Heller. "He had that uncanny ability."
What's more, Art's legacy lives on in the annual Arthur Heller Employee Recognition Award award, which his grateful family established both as a tribute to Heller and as an appreciative gesture to the staff members who helped make his life so enjoyable in his later years.
Heart of gold
This year's award recipient, Mike Sorenson, has worked at Beth Sholom for 17 years in roles ranging from maintenance to night watchman to his current job as medical supplies coordinator. Deirdre Arnowitz, director of social work at Beth Sholom, says Sorenson is not only a deserving recipient, but one who has much in common with the award's namesake.
"Mike is such a sweet man," says Arnowitz. "He'll do anything for anybody and he's very kind to all the residents."
Arnowitz adds that among the roles Sorenson has assigned himself over the years -- without being asked -- is caretaker of animals at the home.
"He loves cats and birds, and when we had a resident cat, Mike took care of her all the time," says Arnowitz. "He took her to the vet and came back on weekends to feed her. He wanted to make sure the residents had a cat."
When the cat died, Sorenson took care of subsequent pets, including birds. He would make sure the birds were covered at night, and took them to residents to keep overnight. "The residents did better because of his efforts," says Arnowitz.
Arnowitz also points out that when feral cats became a problem outside the residential community, Sorenson found homes for all of them as well. On the job, says Arnowitz, Sorenson is known for his knack for fixing things, and often helps out in the rehabilitation department repairing wheelchairs.
"He just has a heart of gold," says Arnowitz, "and an unassuming manner. He never wants attention for himself and was just flabbergasted to get the award."
'King Arthur'
While Sorenson is reluctant to speak of himself, he lights up with a smile remembering Art Heller, whom he calls a "good man" with a talent for singing and playing the piano.
Arnowitz confirms Heller's talent for entertaining, and cites a list of favorite songs he would sing, including "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling."
"We called him King Arthur," says Arnowitz with a laugh. "He sang for every talent show and sing-along, and everyone followed along. I remember he also sang 'Always' to [his granddaughter] Erin.
"He had the most gorgeous blue eyes. He just melted us."
Dan Heller notes that his father's singing voice was something of a legend, and that he entertained the troops during the 1940s.
"There's a picture of him singing to 10,000 troops in Louisville, Kentucky," says Heller. "They called him 'The Singing Lieutenant.' But he was very modest, and other family members had to tell us about it."
Heller says that after the war, his father apparently auditioned for a singing role, and ended up taking second place. The man he lost out to was Dennis Day, who later went on to fame as Jack Benny's sidekick.
"I tell my children," says Heller, 'If there had been an American Idol in the 1940s, your grandpa would have been in the top ten.'"
'He meant so much'
But it was Art Heller's demeanor, even more than his talent for entertaining, that stands out in the memories of those who knew him.
"He was so appreciative," says Arnowitz, "and so amenable to everyone. Art was just the nicest, kindest, smartest – and he would share about his life. I always assigned social worker interns to him, because he was such a great guy to get to know."
Dan Heller tells the story of an encounter about two years after his father died, when he was in line with his son at a fast food restaurant and noticed a woman staring at him.
Eventually the woman approached him, saying, "You're Mr. Heller's son." She told Dan that she had worked at Beth Sholom years ago, and that in her 25-year career working in nursing homes, his father was the "nicest man I ever met."
"Then," recalls Dan, "she takes out her wallet and shows me his obituary. She looked at me and said, 'He meant so much to me.'"
Hearing that from a professional with that much experience in the field, says Heller, told him that establishing the employee recognition award was clearly the right way to recognize his father.
Since establishing the award (which he discussed with his father before his death), Heller has noticed that the idea seems to generate other ideas for good turns. One day, Heller happened to mention the award while on the golf course, telling his fellow players how it honored not only his father's memory but also the unsung heroes who work at Beth Sholom. One golfer, who had just lost his son in an accident, was moved to donate gift cards to all of the award recipients in his son's memory.
It's also tradition that as part of the annual awards ceremony, previous recipients join the celebration and are given corsages and gift certificates. The current winner, surrounded by residents, staff, and friends of the community, receives a cash award in addition to the recognition.
The ceremony never fails to move Deirdre Arnowitz and members of the Heller family (Dan, wife Nancy, and children Ben and Erin – all of whom have volunteered at the home for years) – or to elicit memories and story-telling about "King Arthur."
"I am so glad he lived here 12 years," says Arnowitz. "We were so lucky to have him."

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

EUGENE, Ore. – Competing in her third straight NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Miami University junior Tori Paterra garnered Honorable Mention All-America after placing 21st in the javelin Wednesday evening at the University of Oregon's historic Hayward Field.
Paterra (Elizabeth, Pa.), who has been battling through a back injury the past few weeks, fired the javelin 42.47m/139-4 on her second attempt, which was the best of her three throws. She was 11th in the first of two flights, ending up in 21st overall among the 24 throwers. Paterra improved on her seed, as she entered the NCAA meet seeded 22nd after placing 10th at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds in Greensboro, N.C. May 25 with a throw of 47.22m/154-11.
Georgia's Freya Jones won the javelin title with a toss of 54.95m/180-3, while Florida's Marija Vucenovic was runner-up (54.76m/179-8).
Paterra, who broke her own school record in the javelin earlier this year at the All-Ohio Championships (50.51m/165-8), became just the third RedHawk in program history to qualify for three NCAA Championships. She joined Andrea Kremer (2001, 2003-04) and Sarah Landau (2005-07) as the only RedHawks to participate in three National Championships. Paterra could become the first RedHawk to make the NCAA Championships every year of her career if she qualifies as a senior.
This year marks the second time Paterra has collected Honorable Mention All-America in her career, also doing so as a freshman when she was 20th at the NCAA meet. Last year, she earned First-Team All-America when she placed seventh overall at the NCAA Championships.
Paterra was the only representative from the Mid-American Conference in the javelin at the NCAA meet and was the only RedHawk to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Miami's 2013 season is now complete.

What are diabetic neuropathies?
Diabetic neuropathies are a family of nerve disorders caused by diabetes. People with diabetes can, over time, develop nerve damage throughout the body. Some people with nerve damage have no symptoms. Others may have symptoms such as pain, tingling, or numbness—loss of feeling—in the hands, arms, feet, and legs. Nerve problems can occur in every organ system, including the digestive tract, heart, and sex organs.
About 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes have some form of neuropathy. People with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any time, but risk rises with age and longer duration of diabetes. The highest rates of neuropathy are among people who have had diabetes for at least 25 years. Diabetic neuropathies also appear to be more common in people who have problems controlling their blood glucose, also called blood sugar, as well as those with high levels of blood fat and blood pressure and those who are overweight.
What causes diabetic neuropathies?
The causes are probably different for different types of diabetic neuropathy. Researchers are studying how prolonged exposure to high blood glucose causes nerve damage. Nerve damage is likely due to a combination of factors:
- metabolic factors, such as high blood glucose, long duration of diabetes, abnormal blood fat levels, and possibly low levels of insulin
- neurovascular factors, leading to damage to the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to nerves
- autoimmune factors that cause inflammation in nerves
- mechanical injury to nerves, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- inherited traits that increase susceptibility to nerve disease
- lifestyle factors, such as smoking or alcohol use
What are the symptoms of diabetic neuropathies?
Symptoms depend on the type of neuropathy and which nerves are affected. Some people with nerve damage have no symptoms at all. For others, the first symptom is often numbness, tingling, or pain in the feet. Symptoms are often minor at first, and because most nerve damage occurs over several years, mild cases may go unnoticed for a long time. Symptoms can involve the sensory, motor, and autonomic—or involuntary—nervous systems. In some people, mainly those with focal neuropathy, the onset of pain may be sudden and severe.
Symptoms of nerve damage may include
- numbness, tingling, or pain in the toes, feet, legs, hands, arms, and fingers
- wasting of the muscles of the feet or hands
- indigestion, nausea, or vomiting
- diarrhea or constipation
- dizziness or faintness due to a drop in blood pressure after standing or sitting up
- problems with urination
- erectile dysfunction in men or vaginal dryness in women
- weakness
Symptoms that are not due to neuropathy, but often accompany it, include weight loss and depression.
What are the types of diabetic neuropathy?
Diabetic neuropathy can be classified as peripheral, autonomic, proximal, or focal. Each affects different parts of the body in various ways.
- Peripheral neuropathy, the most common type of diabetic neuropathy, causes pain or loss of feeling in the toes, feet, legs, hands, and arms.
- Autonomic neuropathy causes changes in digestion, bowel and bladder function, sexual response, and perspiration. It can also affect the nerves that serve the heart and control blood pressure, as well as nerves in the lungs and eyes. Autonomic neuropathy can also cause hypoglycemia unawareness, a condition in which people no longer experience the warning symptoms of low blood glucose levels.
- Proximal neuropathy causes pain in the thighs, hips, or buttocks and leads to weakness in the legs.
- Focal neuropathy results in the sudden weakness of one nerve or a group of nerves, causing muscle weakness or pain. Any nerve in the body can be affected.
Neuropathy Affects Nerves Throughout the Body
Peripheral neuropathy affects
- toes
- feet
- legs
- hands
- arms
Autonomic neuropathy affects
- heart and blood vessels
- digestive system
- urinary tract
- sex organs
- sweat glands
- eyes
- lungs
Proximal neuropathy affects
- thighs
- hips
- buttocks
- legs
Focal neuropathy affects
- eyes
- facial muscles
- ears
- pelvis and lower back
- chest
- abdomen
- thighs
- legs
- feet
What is peripheral neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy, also called distal symmetric neuropathy or sensorimotor neuropathy, is nerve damage in the arms and legs. Feet and legs are likely to be affected before hands and arms. Many people with diabetes have signs of neuropathy that a doctor could note but feel no symptoms themselves. Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy may include
- numbness or insensitivity to pain or temperature
- a tingling, burning, or prickling sensation
- sharp pains or cramps
- extreme sensitivity to touch, even light touch
- loss of balance and coordination
These symptoms are often worse at night.
Peripheral neuropathy may also cause muscle weakness and loss of reflexes, especially at the ankle, leading to changes in the way a person walks. Foot deformities, such as hammertoes and the collapse of the midfoot, may occur. Blisters and sores may appear on numb areas of the foot because pressure or injury goes unnoticed. If an infection occurs and is not treated promptly, the infection may spread to the bone, and the foot may then have to be amputated. Many amputations are preventable if minor problems are caught and treated in time.
What is autonomic neuropathy?
Autonomic neuropathy affects the nerves that control the heart, regulate blood pressure, and control blood glucose levels. Autonomic neuropathy also affects other internal organs, causing problems with digestion, respiratory function, urination, sexual response, and vision. In addition, the system that restores blood glucose levels to normal after a hypoglycemic episode may be affected, resulting in loss of the warning symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia Unawareness
Normally, symptoms such as shakiness, sweating, and palpitations occur when blood glucose levels drop below 70 mg/dL. In people with autonomic neuropathy, symptoms may not occur, making hypoglycemia difficult to recognize. Problems other than neuropathy can also cause hypoglycemia unawareness.
Heart and Blood Vessels
The heart and blood vessels are part of the cardiovascular system, which controls blood circulation. Damage to nerves in the cardiovascular system interferes with the body's ability to adjust blood pressure and heart rate. As a result, blood pressure may drop sharply after sitting or standing, causing a person to feel light-headed or even to faint. Damage to the nerves that control heart rate can mean that the heart rate stays high, instead of rising and falling in response to normal body functions and physical activity.
Digestive System
Nerve damage to the digestive system most commonly causes constipation. Damage can also cause the stomach to empty too slowly, a condition called gastroparesis. Severe gastroparesis can lead to persistent nausea and vomiting, bloating, and loss of appetite. Gastroparesis can also make blood glucose levels fluctuate widely, due to abnormal food digestion.
Nerve damage to the esophagus may make swallowing difficult, while nerve damage to the bowels can cause constipation alternating with frequent, uncontrolled diarrhea, especially at night. Problems with the digestive system can lead to weight loss.
Urinary Tract and Sex Organs
Autonomic neuropathy often affects the organs that control urination and sexual function. Nerve damage can prevent the bladder from emptying completely, allowing bacteria to grow in the bladder and kidneys and causing urinary tract infections. When the nerves of the bladder are damaged, urinary incontinence may result because a person may not be able to sense when the bladder is full or control the muscles that release urine.
Autonomic neuropathy can also gradually decrease sexual response in men and women, although the sex drive may be unchanged. A man may be unable to have erections or may reach sexual climax without ejaculating normally. A woman may have difficulty with arousal, lubrication, or orgasm.
Sweat Glands
Autonomic neuropathy can affect the nerves that control sweating. When nerve damage prevents the sweat glands from working properly, the body cannot regulate its temperature as it should. Nerve damage can also cause profuse sweating at night or while eating.
Finally, autonomic neuropathy can affect the pupils of the eyes, making them less responsive to changes in light. As a result, a person may not be able to see well when a light is turned on in a dark room or may have trouble driving at night.
What is proximal neuropathy?
Proximal neuropathy, sometimes called lumbosacral plexus neuropathy, femoral neuropathy, or diabetic amyotrophy, starts with pain in the thighs, hips, buttocks, or legs, usually on one side of the body. This type of neuropathy is more common in those with type 2 diabetes and in older adults with diabetes. Proximal neuropathy causes weakness in the legs and the inability to go from a sitting to a standing position without help. Treatment for weakness or pain is usually needed. The length of the recovery period varies, depending on the type of nerve damage.
What is focal neuropathy?
Focal neuropathy appears suddenly and affects specific nerves, most often in the head, torso, or leg. Focal neuropathy may cause
- inability to focus the eye
- double vision
- aching behind one eye
- paralysis on one side of the face, called Bell's palsy
- severe pain in the lower back or pelvis
- pain in the front of a thigh
- pain in the chest, stomach, or side
- pain on the outside of the shin or inside of the foot
- chest or abdominal pain that is sometimes mistaken for heart disease, a heart attack, or appendicitis
Focal neuropathy is painful and unpredictable and occurs most often in older adults with diabetes. However, it tends to improve by itself over weeks or months and does not cause long-term damage.
People with diabetes also tend to develop nerve compressions, also called entrapment syndromes. One of the most common is carpal tunnel syndrome, which causes numbness and tingling of the hand and sometimes muscle weakness or pain. Other nerves susceptible to entrapment may cause pain on the outside of the shin or the inside of the foot.
Can diabetic neuropathies be prevented?
The best way to prevent neuropathy is to keep blood glucose levels as close to the normal range as possible. Maintaining safe blood glucose levels protects nerves throughout the body.
How are diabetic neuropathies diagnosed?
Doctors diagnose neuropathy on the basis of symptoms and a physical exam. During the exam, the doctor may check blood pressure, heart rate, muscle strength, reflexes, and sensitivity to position changes, vibration, temperature, or light touch.
Foot Exams
Experts recommend that people with diabetes have a comprehensive foot exam each year to check for peripheral neuropathy. People diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy need more frequent foot exams. A comprehensive foot exam assesses the skin, muscles, bones, circulation, and sensation of the feet. The doctor may assess protective sensation or feeling in the feet by touching them with a nylon monofilament—similar to a bristle on a hairbrush—attached to a wand or by pricking them with a pin. People who cannot sense pressure from a pinprick or monofilament have lost protective sensation and are at risk for developing foot sores that may not heal properly. The doctor may also check temperature perception or use a tuning fork, which is more sensitive than touch pressure, to assess vibration perception.
Other Tests
The doctor may perform other tests as part of the diagnosis.
- Nerve conduction studies or electromyography are sometimes used to help determine the type and extent of nerve damage. Nerve conduction studies check the transmission of electrical current through a nerve. Electromyography shows how well muscles respond to electrical signals transmitted by nearby nerves. These tests are rarely needed to diagnose neuropathy.
- A check of heart rate variability shows how the heart responds to deep breathing and to changes in blood pressure and posture.
- Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce an image of internal organs. An ultrasound of the bladder and other parts of the urinary tract, for example, can be used to assess the structure of these organs and show whether the bladder empties completely after urination.
How are diabetic neuropathies treated?
The first treatment step is to bring blood glucose levels within the normal range to help prevent further nerve damage. Blood glucose monitoring, meal planning, physical activity, and diabetes medicines or insulin will help control blood glucose levels. Symptoms may get worse when blood glucose is first brought under control, but over time, maintaining lower blood glucose levels helps lessen symptoms. Good blood glucose control may also help prevent or delay the onset of further problems. As scientists learn more about the underlying causes of neuropathy, new treatments may become available to help slow, prevent, or even reverse nerve damage.
As described in the following sections, additional treatment depends on the type of nerve problem and symptom.
Pain Relief
Doctors usually treat painful diabetic neuropathy with oral medications, although other types of treatments may help some people. People with severe nerve pain may benefit from a combination of medications or treatments and should consider talking with a health care provider about treatment options.
Medications used to help relieve diabetic nerve pain include
- tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, imipramine, and desipramine (Norpramin, Pertofrane)
- other types of antidepressants, such as duloxetine (Cymbalta), venlafaxine, bupropion (Wellbutrin), paroxetine (Paxil), and citalopram (Celexa)
- anticonvulsants, such as pregabalin (Lyrica), gabapentin (Gabarone, Neurontin), carbamazepine, and lamotrigine (Lamictal)
- opioids and opioidlike drugs, such as controlled-release oxycodone, an opioid; and tramadol (Ultram), an opioid that also acts as an antidepressant
Duloxetine and pregabalin are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration specifically for treating painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
People do not have to be depressed for an antidepressant to help relieve their nerve pain. All medications have side effects, and some are not recommended for use in older adults or those with heart disease. Because over-the-counter pain medicines such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen may not work well for treating most nerve pain and can have serious side effects, some experts recommend avoiding these medications.
Treatments that are applied to the skin—typically to the feet—include capsaicin cream and lidocaine patches (Lidoderm, Lidopain). Studies suggest that nitrate sprays or patches for the feet may relieve pain. Studies of alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant, and evening primrose oil suggest they may help relieve symptoms and improve nerve function in some patients.
A device called a bed cradle can keep sheets and blankets from touching sensitive feet and legs. Acupuncture, biofeedback, or physical therapy may help relieve pain in some people. Treatments that involve electrical nerve stimulation, magnetic therapy, and laser or light therapy may be helpful but need further study. Researchers are also studying several new therapies in clinical trials.
Gastrointestinal Problems
To relieve mild symptoms of gastroparesis—indigestion, belching, nausea, or vomiting—doctors suggest eating small, frequent meals; avoiding fats; and eating less fiber. When symptoms are severe, doctors may prescribe erythromycin to speed digestion, metoclopramide to speed digestion and help relieve nausea, or other medications to help regulate digestion or reduce stomach acid secretion.
To relieve diarrhea or other bowel problems, doctors may prescribe an antibiotic such as tetracycline, or other medications as appropriate.
Dizziness and Weakness
Sitting or standing slowly may help prevent the light-headedness, dizziness, or fainting associated with blood pressure and circulation problems. Raising the head of the bed or wearing elastic stockings may also help. Some people benefit from increased salt in the diet and treatment with salt-retaining hormones. Others benefit from high blood pressure medications. Physical therapy can help when muscle weakness or loss of coordination is a problem.
Urinary and Sexual Problems
To clear up a urinary tract infection, the doctor will probably prescribe an antibiotic. Drinking plenty of fluids will help prevent another infection. People who have incontinence should try to urinate at regular intervals—every 3 hours, for example—because they may not be able to tell when the bladder is full.
To treat erectile dysfunction in men, the doctor will first do tests to rule out a hormonal cause. Several methods are available to treat erectile dysfunction caused by neuropathy. Medicines are available to help men have and maintain erections by increasing blood flow to the penis. Some are oral medications and others are injected into the penis or inserted into the urethra at the tip of the penis. Mechanical vacuum devices can also increase blood flow to the penis. Another option is to surgically implant an inflatable or semirigid device in the penis.
Vaginal lubricants may be useful for women when neuropathy causes vaginal dryness. To treat problems with arousal and orgasm, the doctor may refer women to a gynecologist.
Foot Care
People with neuropathy need to take special care of their feet. The nerves to the feet are the longest in the body and are the ones most often affected by neuropathy. Loss of sensation in the feet means that sores or injuries may not be noticed and may become ulcerated or infected. Circulation problems also increase the risk of foot ulcers. Smoking increases the risk of foot problems and amputation. A health care provider may be able to provide help with quitting smoking.
More than 60 percent of all nontraumatic lower-limb amputations in the United States occur in people with diabetes. Nontraumatic amputations are those not caused by trauma such as severe injuries from an accident. In 2004, about 71,000 nontraumatic amputations were performed in people with diabetes. Comprehensive foot care programs can reduce amputation rates by 45 to 85 percent.
Careful foot care involves
- cleaning the feet daily using warm—not hot—water and a mild soap. Soaking the feet should be avoided. A soft towel can be used to dry the feet and between the toes.
- inspecting the feet and toes every day for cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, calluses, or other problems. Using a mirror—handheld or placed on the floor—may be helpful in checking the bottoms of the feet, or another person can help check the feet. A health care provider should be notified of any problems.
- using lotion to moisturize the feet. Getting lotion between the toes should be avoided.
- filing corns and calluses gently with a pumice stone after a bath or shower.
- cutting toenails to the shape of the toes and filing the edges with an emery board each week or when needed.
- always wearing shoes or slippers to protect feet from injuries. Wearing thick, soft, seamless socks can prevent skin irritation.
- wearing shoes that fit well and allow the toes to move. New shoes can be broken in gradually by first wearing them for only an hour at a time.
- looking shoes over carefully before putting them on and feeling the insides to make sure the shoes are free of tears, sharp edges, or objects that might injure the feet.
People who need help taking care of their feet should consider making an appointment to see a foot doctor, also called a podiatrist.
Points to Remember
- Diabetic neuropathies are nerve disorders caused by many of the abnormalities common to diabetes, such as high blood glucose.
- Neuropathy can affect nerves throughout the body, causing numbness and sometimes pain in the hands, arms, feet, or legs, and problems with the digestive tract, heart, sex organs, and other body systems.
- Treatment first involves bringing blood glucose levels within the normal range. Good blood glucose control may help prevent or delay the onset of further problems.
- Foot care is an important part of treatment. People with neuropathy need to inspect their feet daily for any injuries. Untreated injuries increase the risk of infected foot sores and amputation.
- Treatment also includes pain relief and other medications as needed, depending on the type of nerve damage.
- Smoking increases the risk of foot problems and amputation. A health care provider may be able to provide help with quitting.

The Milky Way, our galaxy, is one of hundreds of billions (or trillions — who knows?) of tiny islands of stars sprinkled throughout the vast cosmic ocean of space.
Seen from the top, galaxies are often shaped like flat spirals — children's pinwheels of uncountable stars. Seen from the side, galaxies look much like lenses bulging at the center and tapering to points at the edges. Most of a galaxy's stars are spread throughout the lens-like structure, the galaxy proper.
Strictly speaking, galaxies are really more or less spherical. They are shaped more like balls than lenses.
Above and below the lens, filling in the sphere, is a sparse sprinkling of star balls called globular clusters. In artist's renderings of the Milky Way, they look at bit like tiny bees swarming around the galactic hive.
The best of the globulars is visible right now in binoculars or a telescope. Look for M13 pinned to the chest of the mighty constellation Hercules.
First, you'll have to find Hercules, of course. Look east, about half way up to the top of the sky. You'll see a fairly faint four-star box, wider on the left than on the right, called the Keystone. Locate the top two stars of the Keystone.
In binoculars, sweep about 1/3 of the way from the left star toward the right. The little, fuzzy lint ball is the globular cluster M13.
That's about what it looked like to Edmund Halley (you know, the comet guy), when he discovered it in 1714. Halley's telescope was so small that all he saw was a little fuzz ball.
Later that century, William Hershel, British astronomer and large-telescope builder, used one of his behemoths to estimate the number of stars in M13 at 14,000. People thought it was a misprint. Surely, he had meant to write 4,000.
More than a century later, Harold Shapely counted 30,000 stars. As the telescopes got bigger, the estimates got larger.
The bottom line: You are looking at over one million stars although you can't possibly see them all. A small telescope will begin to resolve the outer stars of the ball. A larger one will dazzle your eyeballs with countless points of light resolved to the core of the cluster. (And that, by the way, is yet another reason to attend one of our Friday-night programs at Perkins.)
Globulars tend to be denser with stars at their center. As we move toward the edge, the stars are less tightly packed together. The reason a small telescope can't resolve the stars at the core of a globular is that they are too close to each other. From our vantage, you can't see the stars on the side of the ball facing away from us. The stars look like they are on top of one other.
That feature is, of course, an illusion caused by our distance from M13. The cluster is perhaps 26,000 light years distant — out at the fringes of our galaxy. (One light year is equal to about six trillion miles.) That's a heck of a lot of zeros, Earthlings.
M13 is about 35 light years wide, small by comparison to the Milky Way galaxy, which is 100,000 light years wide from one end of the pinwheel to the other.
It is huge by earthly standards, however. Our planet is about 8.5 light minutes from the sun, making M13 over two million times wider than the earth/ sun distance.
As a result, M13 is not all that crowded, even with a million stars to work with. On average, each cubic light year of space is occupied by only one star. Even in the most closely packed places in the universe, the stars are still like dust.
Saturn is still high in the south just after dark. The star above it is Gamma in the constellation Virgo.
The great planetary conjunction of 2011 continues and yet the world has not ended in a fiery cataclysm (yet). Go figure. During predawn twilight, look very low in the east. Jupiter is highest and farthest to the right. Dim Mars is down and to the left. Much brighter Venus is farthest left.

WINSTON-SALEM — It sure was fun for Wake Forest in its come-from-behind one-point victory against North Carolina.
Then came a dose of reality: This week there's a trip to No. 5 Florida State.
"Every time we go into the game, we're a huge underdog," receiver Michael Campanaro said.
Coach Jim Grobe said the Demon Deacons (2-0 overall, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) felt so good about how Saturday's game ended that there's often a flip side.
"You're always concerned the euphoria of that win doesn't go away soon enough," Grobe said Tuesday. "(With Florida State next), that should get us focused."
Indeed, if nothing else the Demon Deacons haven't impressed everyone. They were listed as a 24-½ point underdog to Florida State when the line came out and then Grobe said his wife noticed it moved to a 26-point spread.
Grobe said the projected margin just about knocked him out of his chair.
"Apparently the nation doesn't think that's enough," Grobe said of the initial line.
Grobe laughed it all off, knowing that Wake Forest is typically operating under the radar in college football.
That doesn't mean the Demon Deacons don't expected a best shot from Florida State.
"Coach (Jimbo) Fisher is going to have those guys ready, especially after beating them last year," Campanaro said. "We're going down there as big underdogs. So we're playing with house money. … It's going to be a lot closer than 25, 26 points come Saturday."
Wake Forest topped Florida State 35-30 last year, winning for the fourth time in the last six games in the series. So the Seminoles figure to be on full alert Saturday afternoon.
Still, the aftershocks of Wake Forest's 28-27 decision against North Carolina might hold some positive carryover for the Demon Deacons.
"After that win, it gives us a lot of confidence going into this week," linebacker Mike Olson said.
