Just diagnosed last week with type 2 so still at the *** stage
Woke up from nightshift sleep today (5hours) and my arms and hands dont feel right feel a wee bit numb slightly tingling. Bloods were 9.1 before I went to bed and 7.4 at 1.30
Anyone had this
 
Sorry we can’t diagnose you and I suggest you see your dr. What you are describing might turn out to be carpal tunnel syndrome or something else unrelated to your diabetes.
 
Yes. see a doctor if you get it again. I got something similar while walking a couple of miles home from town center. It stopped very quickly after I sat down. So I went to the GP and she said ' that could be a cardio symptom'. Had tests and confirmed I had a cardio problem.
Not so likely to be that in your case since you weren't doing any exercise, but I had previously though that Angina was always a pain in the arm - not a numbness or a tingling sensation etc.
 
thanks for the replies. Got the diabetes clinic nurse calling me tomorrow
