    Anxiety or diabetes issues?

    Hi there. I don't have a monitor but I think it might be my eating habits. To give you brief background about 6 weeks ago maybe more I noticed I was napping a lot more in daytime so I reviewed my eating habits & have been extra wary about what I eat which seems to have worked as I no longer...

    Retinopathy Experience.

    I should also explain that I just noticed symptoms in past fortnight to 3weeks ago is due to 5 to 6 weeks ago my 1yr old son accidentally headbutted me in right eye while playing that resulted in slight black eye for 3 weeks & was monitoring it. It healed but then my left eye started these issues.

    Neuropathy possibility?

    Thanks I thought it was other things like I mentioned eg anxiety? Trapped nerve? Especially since it was sudden, I can still feel my feet & numbness I felt in nighttime could have been weight from other leg

I woke today with numb fingertips which I havent felt since prediagnosis. I guess it made sense due to my erratic eating in lead...
