[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 294625, member: 31362"] [b]Re: Are slightly numb big toes *always* a sign of neuropathy[/b] I have the same thing which might be due to pedalling on my exercise machine. Yes, that could do it, and if you damage nerves in this way it takes months to recover. Personally, i wouldn't bother about a GP visit unless it was really troubling, because even if it was mild neuropathy, the advice is to get good control over your Bgs which is what we're trying to do anyway! There's no magic pill as far as I know, and no real treatment other than pain relief if it's bad. So if you have well controlled BGs, you're doing your best anyway. I do think I sometimes get tinglings and start wondering about my diabetes when I would have not even noticed it before diagnosis! [/QUOTE]
