After I was diagnosed I had massive nerve pain in my feet, knees, shoulders, and just about anywhere with nerve endings, I literally could hardly walk at one point. I had to use opiate based pain killers to enable me to sleep, those were very dark days, and gladly behind me now.

I've started drinking water before I go to bed , and during the night, I had aches in calfs and itchiness even though sugars were fine, both which have subsided , not sure if it's relevant but it's all I can think of that I changed ? Type 1

Are you on statins for cholesterol as one of their possible side effects is pain particularly in legs?
