Hi all
Just looking for a wee bit of advice and re-assurance. I think I am probably being a bit paranoid.
For the last few days my feet have been really cold and white. I have been consistently looking after them since being diagnosed and when I had my first check up at the podiatrist he said I was low risk. I have been keeping my BG levels at a good rate for most of the time. But the last two nights, for the first time in my life, I had to get up and put socks on as my feet were so cold I couldn't get to sleep. In all other ways they feel fine and sensitivity is there. I am just wondering about circulation.
I know it's been cold outside lately and maybe it's perfectly normal and nothing to do with diabetes. I know for a long time my body's thermostat wasn't working and I was always too hot-another symptom of undiagnosed diabetes. Do you think maybe, now that diabetes is under control, I am just feeling the cold like a normal person or should I get it checked out? (Don't like to waste the doctor's time over nothing.)
