Hi, thanks for your input. Vitamin B12 was checked and all ok. Maybe I approached the issue in this thread back to front (Talking about Metformin and prediabetes), but my main gripe is the pain and tingling, apart from diabetes I don't know what else can cause the body to develop this kind of...

yep, it came down from 44 to 40 which I was happy about. Unfortunately the pain/tingling has stuck around. The thing about the 40 blood test result is that was fasting, whenever I eats food I'm getting 9-10 on the meter reading 2 hours post meal. I would ideally like to have one of those blood...

hi there, Thanks for your encouragement, glad yours went away, - gives me a glimmer of hope, it's driving me insane :-/ How long did your tingling start after eating food? Mine starts after a minute or two. Stayed for a day or so then went. But this time it's stuck around. will deffo cut...

I do avoid foods that cause it, but sometimes everyone gives into temptation. Once every 3 months for a couple of biscuits with a cup of tea isn't too much to ask? 40 result was my last blood test previously it was 44 in Jan. Like I said I literally starved myself between the two tests during...

sorry to hear about your neuropathy. None of family members who've got Type 2 diabetes have the same issue with food that I have, instant pain in calfs and tingling in fingers and toes, it's really weird. A sibling does have neuropathy (pain only) in their calf muscles, no tingling in...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. yeah, my last two I believe were 44 in Jan and then 40 a few months later. The 40 was a fasting bloodtest and because of the pain/tingling I was getting I was scared to eat things and massively restricted my calorie intake for 2 months prior to last test (As well...

Hi there, I just wondered if I should be on Metformin for Prediabetes to stop me developing diabetes? (Which I feel is inevitable due to my family history) Background story: Type 2 diabetes runs in my family, all my 3 siblings have it, my father and everyone on his side of the family have...
