Hey guys. I've managed to improve my BG control hugely in the last nine months or so, and had my lowest ever HbA1c reading, which is great. I've experienced increased retinopathy, and I understand this is normal when control is tightened up significantly, and that it should be a short-term issue, but that in the long term the eyes will improve.
Now I'm experiencing neuropathy for the first time in my 28 years of diabetes, including permanent pins and needles in my right big toe, and a general increase in susceptibility to transient pins and needles.
What I'm wondering is, could this neuropathy be another short-term deterioration due to lower BG levels, like with the eyes? It's my understanding that the cells become accustomed to living in high glucose levels, and when these are reduced, they don't like it.
What's everyone's view on this?
