Hello everyone, I’ve been Type 1 for around 5-6 months now and I got diagnosed rather quickly compared to how long it can take a lot of people, lucky I found it whilst doing routine checks so caught it early. Ever since I’ve been in pretty good control constantly, sitting mainly around...

Does it feel like a deep aching with a kind of stiff sensation ? Just had this come on in both my hands in the last two days I thought it could be bilateral carpel tunnel but who knows I have had upper back and arm pains recently with aching and stiffness. Does hand neuropathy come before foot...

Aarrrghhh! This burning sensation in my right lower leg, just below the knee is driving me slowly mad. I've now increased (as of today) to 3 gabapentin a day. When I started them (on one a day) I thought they were working. But I'm getting the pain in the evening after my tea time pill and...

I was diagnosed with Type 2 in 2008 (on my 40th birthday, yay me) and started on Metformin pretty much straight away. Up until Autumn 2014 things seemed to be going reasonably well, I'd managed to lose 60kg and was maintaining an acceptable (my doctors word not mine) BG level. Alongside the...
