Keep asking questions.

Only time I had something similar was when I injured my back.My foot tingling related to diabetes was a slow onset thing.FWIW.just suddenly had toes and one heel go tingly numb... can this be managed?

You are on the right track seeing your Dr,think you are spot on . Good luck.
@Coastal Mine was the same as 1spuds. At the time the whole thing was almost imperceptible and built up gradually over several years. Until the end of last year the symptoms had become increasingly obvious and troublesome.In my case many months.Maybe a year or 2,hard to say because symptoms were so minor as it started.Foot first started getting cool,then colder,then a smidgen numb,then it started to get tingly and noticeably numb.Slow and steady.Mine was never severe but for sure it made itself known.
It was such a slow process. I hardly noticed anything for a long time,looking back though it now makes sense.
Seems to be recovering about same rate it went bad,with sugars being managed now.So IMO if sugars hadnt been almost twice normal,and instead in normal range it never would have occurred.
Yes. In my case at least, yes.So there’s recovery possible or at least containment at some level of sugar lifestyle etc are managed?

Q:What is the difference between R-lipoic acidand Alpha Lipoic acid? A: Alpha-lipoic acidconsists of a 50/50 mixture of the R- (natural) and S- (unnatural) forms (enantiomers). ... R Lipoic is significantly more potent than Alpha Lipoic because the body “recognizes” it and “knows” how to use it.

The body uses it to help with diabetic numb toes.
I'm off mine until I'm 3mths after my operation.
I will resume the use of mine very soon. I'm currently having pain behind my leg and big toe from a nipped nerve in my back but additionally I hv numb toes and side of foot which improves with R-ala. I'm on pregabalin for nerve pain. I'm also on Tramadol for nipped nerves.
I stopped R-ala 3mths before my recent Roux-en-y operation in mid-June (2019) and will return on it mid-October. I will only take the R version as S version is believed to just be absorbed by the gastric system and hv no medical worth. I buy the 80% R-ala from Amazon or same make (San) by a respected vendor. The one I buy is 125mg so I'd reintroduce mine to 2x daily then increase to up max 600mg daily by 3x daily and always with food.May I ask If your numbness from the spinal injury or diabetes? Can I also ask what your R-ala dosage is?
