    Numbness in legs

    I've got a MRI scan in the next few weeks. See the Diabetic Nurse February. This article on this site seems relevant, hope I'm right, coming up to a month taking a high dose of Vit D, no improvement yet. Feeling more tired then before. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/food/vitamin-d.html

    Numbness in legs

    Hi Guys I had blood tests done, my Vit D is really low, 22 nmol/L. It should be 50.00 - 140.00 nmol/L range. So I've been prescribed the max Vit D. When I rang the Receptionist for the blood test results, she said everything was o.k. with the blood test results. Annoyed about that.

    Numbness in legs

    Yes, I really need to work at it. I went to the shops the other day, when I left the house, I was so cold. After leaving the shop, I didn't feel the cold at all. Very bizzare.

    Numbness in legs

    Thanks I did Google peripheral neuropathy and diabetic neuropathy. I had blood tests last week, they said they look o.k. I'll see if they can get 'nerve conduction tests'.

    Numbness in legs

    I have another condition, but don't think it's related. Although it makes managing the diabetes difficult. I've got a Doc's appointment today.

    How did you feel about switching onto injections?

    I've been told that I need to switch to injections, but am reluctant. I've been taking various supplements over the last 6 months. I've started drinking Green Tea over the last few days. I'm adding flavoured vinegar with meals, so far so good. Just need to lose a stone and evaluate. I've got a...

    Anger issues

    I've just started drinking Green Tea, Tetley brand, and feel alot better. About 4 or 5 cups a day. But it's probably a huge number of supplements, just need to lose a stone, then see where we go from there. I am aware that other brands of Green Tea might be better, but 'swings and roundabouts'.

    Council Say Exercise or Reduced Benefit - Try Engaging Brain

    Re: Westminster City Council - Try Engaging Brain Excellent points, Mazbee If I bought you a tomato today it would only contain 17% of Vitamin C, that a tomato would have contained 100 years ago, the reason being supermarket modern requirements.
