Hi, I've had serious neuropathy in my feet, legs hands, and arm. Sometimes movement can be difficult so is there any way I can get a blue badge? I'm speaking to my GP tomorrow.

D2 for 8 years. I am experiencing some symptoms compatible with neuropathy such as mild burning in some areas of the foot and little finger of the left hand, but they disappear for a few weeks and reappear. I don't know if this is neuropathy or maybe I'm obsessing over it and imagining things...

Hi all, I have been a diagnosed T1D for about ~13 years. My blood glucose control isn't the BEST, but it's not the worst. I am managing better using the Libre Freestyle Libre sensor, though. A few years ago I 'started' some casual evening football games with work-friends, but I soon had to...

Hi, I’ve noticed that both of my big toes are slightly numb and I’m wondering if this is something I should be worried about? Is it a sign of diabetic neuropathy or do you guys thinks it’s because I walk almost 8 hours a day? My doctor is away on vacation so I can’t contact him for five weeks...
