Does anyone get aching intermittent pains in their arm muscles and thighs after long period of high blood sugars or a bad low. Stabbing pain in my biceps and triceps are torture and no other real reason for it and never had it before. Nothing like the usual leg cramps i would usually get
 
I have never had that experience, Betes1. How long ago were you diagnosed? How are your numbers now?

My entirely uninformed thought is, could it be the beginnings of neuropathy? I'm sure that as the world wakes up, someone with far more knowledge than me will chime in.
 
I do find that if my sugars are high I become much more aware of any lingering soreness, injuries or irritation anywhere in my body.

Something like a slight muscle strain that had healed to the point where I was no longer even aware of it when my sugars are good can suddenly feel painful if my sugars get high.
