Message: <blockquote data-quote="yorkshirelad27" data-source="post: 2032159" data-attributes="member: 499479">Hi,I was diagnosed in January this year.  My HBA1C has gone from 61 then, to 39 a few weeks ago.  My cholesterol has improved and my GP took me off my metformin yesterday.  I am a shift worker and two nights ago, had low blood pressure and a lightheadedness.  This lasted for a few hours until I slept after my night shift.In the last two days, my hands and feet have been very cold and today started with tingling in hands, feet and legs.  I noticed the outside light felt very bright this morning when I went for a walk.  I have felt lightheaded, had a headache and a bit zoned out if that makes any sense.  Without wanting to diagnose myself, some of the symptoms fit with neuropathy.  I told my GP yesterday about the lightheadedness and low BP but he didn't say anything further.  I have also had a funny taste in my mouth.Does anyone have any advice ?  I understand that if it is neuropathy, then to have my blood sugars in control is a good thing.  When I have felt unwell like this, I have tested my blood sugar and it is always about 7-8.Thanks - Mike.</blockquote>
