Hi all

I don't know if there is any connection here. But when I have been fasting for a few days, and then drink a coffee with milk or something like that, after about half an hour I can feel a tingling sensation in my lower left leg around the front and the calf. Does anyone think this is sugar being felt in the veins? Thanks all

I doubt it's sugar @Fuggs but it would be worth mentioning to your doctor just so it can be checked out.

Any ideas to resolve? I am now 5:2 fasting and really hard on carbs.
Will be doing 10 days water fast to clear out as much sugar as I can.
Interestingly my bg is only 6.8.

I don't think that veins have nerves in so I doubt you can feel any sugar in them. It's far more likely that the sensory nerves associated with the area are on the blink or starting to work again. Have you had numbness in the leg at all?
