I have been diagnosed with Type 2 now for about six months. last couple of months I have noticed that my toes get extremely cold at times. More so when I'm at work wearing steel toe cap boots and thick socks. I am also now experiencing this at home with my slippers on (sheepskin lined) and thin socks. Other days my toes are normal temperature. Is this something I should be concerned about, is there anything i can do?
 
Have you had a foot check recently? If not the only thing I can think of is circulation problems. I would ask your GP to test the pulses in your feet.
 
Had my feet checked shortly after being diagnosed. This was only to check sensation in feet, and checked OK.
 
Are you on any type of medication? My blood pressure medication makes both my hands and feet extremely susceptible to cold.
 
When first diagnosed my toes were so painfull and the calf of my legs , as my sugars went down the pain became so much less , now I hardly notice any pain ....

My legs and feet do have a different type of muscle ache due to metformin and statins ....can be painful as well ...

Please take further medical advise , these are personal experiences ..best wishes Kat
