Reading a comment by @Robinredbreast and after experiences of my own I thought a topic regarding this would be useful to people.
Following a sprained ankle last year, I was pretty sure that I suffered some form of nerve damage to my ankle/foot as I was feeling a lot of pins and needles on the upper part of my foot. In the period since I did that, I've had my BG level under pretty good control, with Hba1C around 6.0 and SD around 2.3. What I've noticed is that I still have these tingling sensations and that when my BG rises above 8.5, they are far stonger than under normal circumstances.
Now my other foot doesn't suffer from these things, so I am certain it is related to the ankle sprain, however it is very frustrating that a trauma has delivered something that I thought I was managing well to avoid. Such is the T1's lot. I find it hard to classify them as "Diabetic Complications" as without the trauma (i.e. the control being the other foot) I doubt that there would be anything there. They are however, compications, and I'm sure that they are there because the Big D causes recovery from trauma to be slightly different.
Aside from RRB, has anyone else experienced this kind of issue?
