I was warned my BG was too high about 12 months ago. Other than that in relatively good health (but overweight BMI of about 35. A few months ago started getting pains in the joints of my thumbs but this has spread to shoulders knees and now in my lower back with what feed like referred paid down though my legs. Not sure it was wise but decided to try couch to 5k but after a couple of weeks was permanently feeling increased pain in knees and overall continual feeling of having done too much in the gym (been 20 year since I have been but know the feeling ) a couple of days after overdoing things. Doctor sent me for full blood count etc… came back as deficient on B12 so been on high dose injections, been referred to a rheumatologist with suspected poly myalgia…. Worst symptom now is really bad lower back pain… Bloods also know at 51 so classified as full diabetic…..

Anyone else had coincident diabetes and RPM is it possible they are linked?
