    Not even diagnosed but tingly/numb feet - really worried

    Hi folks, sorry to have taken so long (been away on holiday), but my results are back and thankfully my AC1 levels are normal, so no diabetes thankfully, though it's been a huge wakeup call for me that's for sure. No conclusive results as to why I got peripheral neuropathy, all tests came back...

    Not even diagnosed but tingly/numb feet - really worried

    You're not wrong, the fear of permanent nerve damage possibly spreading to my fingers is awful. I just hope I get the results and hopefully treatment before I go away on holiday. I've not taken the vitamin b12 supplements (bar 1) as one of the tests is for B12.

    How excellent, I'm an RHS member too! Will take a look now at your macro shots. Just taken my first B12 tablet (will have to get the acid online I think). Just drank deeply of your beautiful flower pics, such gorgeous Peonies and Roses. Wish I lived closer to one of the gardens (Leicestershire...

    Thank you KennyA for your in depth post, much appreciated. I have ordered tonight a glucose meter and will be using it as you suggest. I'm going to cut the carbs out totally until I know more as a precaution. I'd say wish me luck, but you already have done! I'll need it too as going on a cruise...

    I should add that I've not had any of the usual diabetes symptoms listed. I've lost nearly a stone recently though I think that's just through the act of cutting back on food in the past 3 weeks. (I was 16 stone or therabouts.)

    Not even diagnosed but tingly/numb feet - really worried

    Hi folks, I'm 47 and have had tingly feet off and on for about the last 3 weeks, with the problem getting more pronouced this week. Thought I heard years ago that this was one of the first symptoms. Saw a doctor the other day, he's lined up some tests, but not for over a week. Since then...
