[QUOTE="aealexandrou, post: 2291688, member: 503484"] Most newly diagnosed T2D have probably been suffering from high blood sugars years before they detect that they are diabetic. You don't even need to have diabetes to suffer neuropathy as it is a sympton of long term sugar contamination and insulin resistance on its own. If she was simply suffering the occasional numbness to her hands specifically from the pressure when riding her bike, then its unlikely to be an issue, but the reference to numbness in her toe, the fact that she is diabetic, are indices of neuropathy and she should get herself checked out. I waited to long to check out my neuropathy and by that time it had spread to my hands and feet. It is what alerted me to the fact that I had a diabetes issue, which proved to be the case after I attended my GP. You should never rely on these or any post for a diagnosis. Your GP may no nothing about nutrition and treating diabetes with diet, but will be well trained in diagnosing the illness. [/QUOTE]
