[QUOTE="RobsterinSheff, post: 294569, member: 44306"] Hi all I had my last foot exam in late May. In late June I went to China for 2 weeks and for the second (touristy) week I was walking 3-5 hours a day. After a couple of days of this I noticed that the underside/ outer part of both my big toes had become what I can only describe as numb'ish- so that cotton wool type feeling that other posters have mentioned. Some sensation but certainly some lost. I put this down to the massive increase in intensive-walking compared to the 30-45 minutes per day I am used to. But- two weeks after I returned there has been no discernible change. Yes it has not got worse: but the loss of sharp/ clear sensation in the patch on each big toe is basically unchanged. I am concious of trying not to get into the 'everything happening to me/ every symptom is to do with my diabetes' mindset that many posters warn about. But should I arrange an appointment with my GP about this? The next one is due on August 6th following my first HBA1C since diagnosis. Any opinions much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
