[QUOTE="Tim55, post: 916529, member: 186079"] Hi winnie53 I never really had much pain while the condition was developing, more pins and needles and general discomfort. The pain has only really stayed recently as I have been taking steps hopefully to reverse it - and I am taking that as a positive sign. When I First talked to the doctor and tried to describe the sensations I was feeling he asked "is it like you are wearing socks and gloves all the time?" Which was a very good description. As soon as I said yes, he went on to say that stocking and glove syndrome is indicative of peripheral neuropathy. Other problems I had included a few falls because my I didn't know what my feet were doing. .... RoG - I found my symptoms continued to worsen while I was getting my sugar levels under control, general view appears to be that damage will continue to be caused whenever it gets above 7.8.. Cod liver oil or perhaps better omega 3 capsules are often recommended for general joint pain but I have never had much success with either. Are you on metformin as well to control your levels or just diet alone? [/QUOTE]
