I was diagnosed T2 last April and I still don't know a lot about this. So I wonder if the pain I experienced today might be one of these.

I often ache when I come home from a walk and I usually take acetaminophen/paracetamol. Today I took two, and then lay down to take a nap, and when I woke up I felt like I was burning all over. This has happened before but it doesn't happen often and I haven't been able to relate it to anything I've just eaten or drunk.

So I started wondering if it could be fibromyalgia but when I Googled that it didn't quite match. Then I started wondering if it could be diabetic neuropathy/nerve pain. It didn't last long and it never became unbearable but I was surprised that the Tylenol hadn't worked.

What did seem to help later was eating a slice of illicit pumpkin cake and drinking about half a pint of milk.

Do different foods cause diabetic nerve pain?
 
I don't know. I didn't feel hot or look flushed. Just an overall burning pain.

This morning I feel fine again.
