[Clivethedrive]

I've had swollen index finger for nearly a year am on naproxen they thought was arthritis but blood tests showed it's not, since had x ray and nothing abnormal. Went for healthy heart check and the nurse said may be worth talking to consultat when I go clinic ad could be I have neuropathy. Never knew you could get it anywhere other than feet. Shows how niave I've been.
Said nothing they could do but at least I would know X

Hi longtimer30,its a fact of diabetes: disease affecting the nerves ,due th high levels of bs's over a period of time,so yes you can get affected anywhere in your body.but the good news is it can with a good regime be reversed for some people, i have suffered with neuropathy in the feet,but since losing 3st8lbs and getting my bs down from26.8 to todays 3.7mmol ,it worked for me and neuropathy has goneps have a read of jenny ruhls diet101 a very helpful and informative book on how to manage bs's.
