Thanks for all of the feedback guys! Hoping I can get this figured out. I have tried tons of magnesium, but without much effect. Maybe it’s a different mineral.....but all my bloods tested normal.
This is almost certainly not neuropathy. You'd need bad sugars for a few more years to see that and this can happen if someone went undiagnosed for a while and then didn't do what you've done to reduce that hba1c.Oh yes! I get plenty of that at various times, and can be all over my body - tends to in the main be in legs (calfs) but left side if chest, arms and even neck sometimes. Never had these symptoms until I decided to lose 3-stone in weight (8 weeks) and adopt a LCHF diet style. Also have tinnitus and dizziness that has been around for months now. No understanding from within the NHS, just empty stares and no verbal advice (and that’s if you can even get to see a GP!).
How much alcohol do you drink per week? Be honestBumping this up in case someone has a new remedy!
I've had random, widespread muscle twitches for over 3 years now. Got it checked out by a neurologist almost 3 years ago, and was given the all clear. Didn't get diagnosed as diabetic until this past April, and I know I wasn't in the diabetic range for more than a year prior to that due to previous blood tests. Dropped my A1C levels back in to the non-diabetic range in 2 months with LCHF. Then started getting some mild burning in feet, and my hands fall asleep at night regularly.
I'll admit I have health anxiety. I fear small fiber neuropathy. Could it have started with the twitches? If it were true neuropathy would it take 3 years for burning type pain to show up in feet with twitching as presenting symptom? The foot problems didn't start until AFTER lowering my BG levels. Is any of this related at all, or is my mind getting the best of me?
Anyone else? I'm not sure if this stuff is related or not......or it could all be related to my anxiety. Who knows.

Hi, i have exactly the same symptoms that you have for more than 1 year. All the doctors told me that I am fine. I have thought that maybe it is my anxiety, but my subconscious tells me that I should act because maybe afterwards it will be too late and it could get worse. Have you had a definitive diagnosis of all these symptoms? have your symptoms evolved?
Reading your post made me realise that my twitching has recently gone away. Not sure when. I used to get persistent tics in my eyes and hands. Them going might be associated with normal BG levels, or might be a coincidence.Symptoms are about the same. I'm told it is benign and may be caused by anxiety. I'm not sure if it is related to diabetes or not. It started well before I became diabetic.

I have had musclur twitches and cramping since my 30's. Was under a neurologist for a few years and never got any where. I started taking magnesium 3 months ago the twitches and cramps went away. I thought i was having enough magnesium in my diet as i started doing a carnivor diet and stopped and the brain fog, twitches and cramps started back up.
I was taking 250mg a day but bowel movement a bit soft so going to try 100-200 a day again and see how it goes
What type of magnesium worked for you?
Hi, I've just seen your post. I've twitched for 4 years. About a year before that I noticed strange sensations in the soles of both feet. The Dr tested me for type 2, told me it was negative and sent me on my way. 5 years later I twitch, I get bad headaches behind my left eye following sugar, and then awful (like end of the world) anxiety. Anxiety is typically first thing in the morning and lifts through the day. I often also wake with numb fingers (though I've stopped worrying about this.) The reason for the post is in 5 years I've had two 1ac tests which show me nowhere close to prediabetes, let alone type 2. I'm intrigued by you having such similar symptoms before you were diagnosed. Have you noticed any correlation with twitching and low blood sugar? (I think I may but my I'm prone to temporarily bend facts to fit the theory!)I've had random, widespread muscle twitches for over 3 years now.
