Neuropathy caused by lowering BS too fast?

As Type Secondary Pancreatic Pathology (insulin injections twice a day), I can be 5.4 pre-breakfast which rises to around 12.?? and then 3 hours later after work can fall to about 2.5-3.9 area, when it's jelly baby time until I get back to a reasonable 5.6 area about 2 hours later. I can maintain under 7 until after tea when again I'm around the 8/9 area until again 3 hours later back down to 4s. In bed is nightmare with pins & needles, soreness and discomfort bowel-wise on a regular basis. Is this perhaps what you mean by the high to low levels quickly causing the neuropathy (3 years later)?

No, there is a type of Neuropathy relating to starting treatment for type 1 where the sudden change from a relatively long period running high to a stable low level causes a type of temporary Neuropathy.

What you've described is normal glucose variation, although perhaps a little too much, which contributes to the traditional form of Neuropathy.

I was diagnosed with BS of 17. During the first week I started met per doctors instructions and cut out all carbs. After one week my BS lowered to 7-9. But I started to get twitching, tingling and burning in my feet and hands especially the first couple days. Is this going to be permanent? Now, after 2 months, my BS has more or less stabilised BUT the neuropathy is still here....the twitching is better but its replaced with burning especially in my feet. Did I mess my body up by lowering BS too fast? I never had these symptoms with my BS high...

I know this is an old post, but this is exactly what is happening to me. Did it resolve for you? Any others experience tingling/burning after quickly lowering BS levels?
