Last Saturday my fingers and toes started feeling sore, now the whole length of my fingers are achy and the soles of my feet and my heels ache too. It's not a pins and needles type of pain, more like when you go outside on a cold day then come back inside somewhere warm. It's more achy than anything else, but they're also tender. I'm terrified that this is the beginning of neuropathy, but my blood sugar is generally well controlled and my last HbA1c was 38 (5.6). I'm thinking it could be a circulatory problem, but my fingers and toes aren't cold, my other thought was maybe arthritis, but my joints aren't swollen.
I've had diabetes for 3 years and I'm 39. My next appointment with the diabetic clinic is at the beginning of August, I'm wondering if I should phone and ask if it can be brought forward. What do you think, I'm pretty worried
