Hi Guys I was diagnosed with type 2 15 months ago. My a1c was 12.6 which was a surprise as I was always fit. I am currently 41 years old, with a lot of hard work I got my a1c down to 5.5. It had been 5.5 to 5.6 consistently for the last year. However I have been having pain in and cramps in my calf muscles, i went to a specialist had a number of tests for peripheral arterial disease. PAD. was negative, in fact he told me I had the blood flow and blood pressure of a 20 year old athlete. He has advised me it could be neuropathy and advised me to have a test done... Sounds simple, problem is while Im originally from the UK I now live in Indonesia and my doctor has advised me there is no credabile doctor which can perform that test in this country. My question is this, from everything I have read neuropathy should not start a year after a1c levels have been in the normal range, and come on so quickly, literally I woke up one morning with pain in my calfs which has not went for the last two months. Us thus possible.... Please help
