I'm only 18 years old, so I'm pretty shocked at how awful my circulation appears to be, I have been neglecting my blood sugars for at least 7 years, and although I'm ashamed of this I have now regained control and my blood sugars are now rarely over 10, they used to be in the teens and twenties (when I bothered to check them).I mentioned the pain to my nurse and asked if it was another side effect to the sudden tighten in blood glucose control and she said it was likely to be, can anyone confirm this please? I regained my new control in May, it has been 3 months and now my overall blood is the lowest it has ever been!.. I'm concerned though naturally and the nerve pain is really not helping my anxiety as I keep feeling it may be due to another underlying health problem, is it possible that the changes I've made to my lifestyle are causing these problems? I've read that tightening blood control can make nerves go all over the place! Thankyou ever so much in advance x</blockquote>
