Message: <blockquote data-quote="flojo1234" data-source="post: 1603206" data-attributes="member: 11955">Hi allthanks for your lovely messages and advice. The general consensus seems to be that it could be a problem with my nerves. I did have nerve studies done on my feet a couple of years ago, as I have numbness in the bottom of my right foot but as far as I'm aware nothing came of it. When I say my diabetes is uncontrolled, it is very uncontrolled. last week my sugars spiked up to 32 with no obvious reason or cause.... and then during that night I dropped into a hypo. This yoyo of sugars makes me feel awful and I try so hard to keep them steady but nothing seems to work, and it has always, always been this way.The irony is, I was supposed to have a diabetic clinic appointment on Tuesday, and I rang up to check the time on the day of the appointment to be told it had been cancelled by an administrator and I had been discharged from the service! I am only 19, and I have to say my experience of transition to adult services from children services has been nothing more than appalling. Don't get me wrong, I work for the NHS and have always, always been its biggest fan, id be screwed without it! But the adult service leaves something to be desired. I have found I have been very, very sleepy this weekend, and I presume that's the hypo and the ME symptoms mixing. Today I have woken up and legs are slightly better but still unsteady and shaking. I have wondered if I don't get enough sugar/ energy to my muscles in my legs which could cause the shaking and the weakness, as they tend to get worse the longer I stand on them. Again, thank you for all your help and kind words, I will speak to my nurses/ consultant/ doctor. whoever I can see first.</blockquote>
