Fibre glass like feeling on left leg

[Dudette1]

Hi, I am not sure if it’s diabetes related so I just wondered if anyone had anything similar.

Every now and then I used to get a feeling on my leg, but it would go away.

Then last week I’ve got that same feeling it’s on the top of my foot, round my ankle which feels sprained all most, and on my calf.

The only way I can describe it is like when you touch fibre glass and it hurts when you put on clothes or the covers rub on your legs.

It’s very sensitive, my husband thinks it’s my nerve endings, I can’t get an appointment with my endo altho I will try again tomorrow, and waiting for doctors to get in touch with an appointment.

I still have feeling in my feet and so on and my bloods are between 70-84% in range.

Thanks

what is 70 to 84% do you have a A1c number or blood readings ?
Finger prick numbers ?
if you go on the NHS app you should be able to get a rapid appointment with your Dr's using the triage system

The 70-84% in range is my libre sensor. A1c is 7% still needs work but getting there.
Thank you

I think OP is referring to the Time in Range so 70 - 84% in range means 70 to 84% of the time they are in the range of 3.9 - 10 mmol/L. It isn't a BG itself.
