I'm a LADA diabetic and up until a few months ago I was on 2000 mg metformin,insulin and linigliptin.
At the same time I was having symptoms of neuropathy such as tingling in arms and feet and even shooting pains in toes. I had test done and my diabetic levels were 43 which I'm told this was normal and then had an mri and electrical tests with a neurologist an d everything came back normal no nerve damage.
My gp suggested I was over medicated and took me off the met and linigliptin and I was insulin only. Well these symptoms started to go. However I have now struggled with getting my levels down and I don't want to take more insulin so I discussed with my specialist to try just 1000 mg of met with 10 units of novomix in the morning and evening.
Well a few weeks down the line I am getting the tingling and pains again. I am wondering if it is the metformin.
Has anyone else experienced this.
