[QUOTE="Grins, post: 714203, member: 148166"] Hi [USER=89494]@Omnipod[/USER] Saw Diabetic Consultant today. He took my concerns very seriously and did a number of checks on my feet and legs. I passed all the tests and he is happy there is no sign of severe nerve damage. He agrees the symptoms are neuropathy and says anxiety will make them worse. He wasn't suggesting I was imagining it or causing it, just that how anxious I was will make it worse, it is a vicious circle. [B]The positive thing that I hope helps you is that he was insistent that this is very common and very likely also temporary (in my case but your situation sounds similar!) and that any change in sugar levels can make this happen. [/B] He has suggested some other drugs to try (and is writing to my GP). I am on the waiting list to see a Neurologist and I will have more questions and push for more tests then. [B][/B] I am going back on the gluten as I need to be on gluten to make the test effective. This is something to bear in mind if you are giving up gluten too. I am going to take all the positives from this and try and enjoy Christmas. I will continue to avoid spikes by reducing my carbs and injecting some time before food. All the best [/QUOTE]
