Does having diabetes make you feel always cold

Quite often feeling cold like that is a sign of an under active thyroid, which is very simple to fix and nothing to do with diabetes.

Don't suffer it myself but I know other newly diagnosed who complain of always been cold and having to wear bed socks ...

I felt quite cold when i first started low carbing but associated it with losing some of my nice insulating diabetic blubber layer. And I do still feel the cold a bit more now.

However I've had periods of feeling icy cold in my extremities when I've had bad migraines, and this was happening well before I was ever diabetic, and I've thought this was some kind of circulation issue.

So it doesn't necessarily have to be diabetes related. We may just be more concious of our bodies now we're probably worrying about them more?

I often wondered this, I lost a few stone before diagnosis which resulted in me feeling much colder than normal.

I lost a lot of weight in my early 20s which crept back on and more over the next 25+ years until I started losing it again in the pre-diagnosis few months. I recollect feeling the cold quite badly that time. I haven't particularly noticed it this time, I have to admit.
