Oh yes that's it, thanks! I have a permenant dead patch on one thigh which came of suddenly. It's on my left thigh, just above the knee on the side about the size of a hand. It doesn't annoy me much to be honest, but I think a cortoze injection was suggested to help fix it.

A while ago whilst researching pins and needles to the legs I came across a condition in those who like me are overweight and carry weight around the stomach. It talked about the weight in this area causing a 'pinch' or fold to either a nerve or some other tube to the side of the stomach which...

I'm trying to push that that discomfort barrier, as the exercise is getting my weight down and also helping keep my levels down and steady. I guess it's a small price to pay thinking of the long term.

Hey there - no not really worse at night and not troubling me when sleeping. the only difference between night and day is that I'm walking around more during the day, which seems to help, although maybe I'm just not focusing on it so much. You say you have experienced this when your BG's came...

I also feel that the walking I've been doing may have brought on this numbness and itching in my legs, as it coincided with me starting an exercise program, consisting mainly of walking about 5 times a week. The walking though seems to help ease the pain and itchiness on the front of my shins...

Yes that's exactly how it feels, as it's very suddenly affecting me and it's hard to not feel like it's quite catastrophic! But of course, seeing my specialist is the next step. Just wanted to see if it was something that people on here may have experienced.

Could you point me to where I can add my personal info, readings etc (as you have them) under each post? I can't see where to do that!

Hi and thanks for the reply. Yes I'm on Kombiglyze XR 2.5 / 1000 (Saxagliptin / Metformin) and Ardix Gliclazide 60mg. My readings have recently come down from 12-14 to 7-9mmol fasting as a result of diet change and exercise. The leg problems seemed to have started at the point my readings came...

Hello all, Well a few months ago I switched to a LCHF diet and combined with regular exercise, by BG's came down to almost within a healthy range. That was great! But then I started getting aching legs, pins and needles down the side of my leg and some numbness. My shins in particular became...

My BG's have dropped signifigantly in the past 2 months from an average of mid teens down to about 6-8. This is brilliant and I feel great, but I've found that after I've started walking most days 30 - 60 mins, I have been experiencing numbness, mainly in the lower leg. I'm also getting pins...

Yes I've avoided insulin thus far, as my levels have dropped to almost within range of where they ought to be and I'm feeling heaps better!

Egg / bacon / mushies / avo Snacked on macadamia nuts and tasty cheese Roast chicken / tomatoes / lettuce / mayo strawberries / dollop cream Delicious! And feeling full :)

7.3! Tantalizingly close to under 7!! 6 weeks ago I was averaging in double figures

Thank you to everyone who posted a response to this, my post from 6 weeks ago! After reading your advice I changed my diet to LCHF instantly and the results came quickly. I also started walking every second day for up to an hour, just getting things moving again. My readings came down from an...

Hi to everyone. Just looking for some reassurance from those who may have been through a similar thing. I'm type 2, on medication, but haven't really adjusted my diet and fitness and thus my BG readings are still quite high. As a result of not addressing this, I find I'm very tired every day...
