[QUOTE="Teddi50, post: 1507914, member: 419324"] Hello Everyone Like most new here and just learning – I do have questions but a quick background first 50 years old, heavy set, fairly active (hiking and walking and weights) - every year had blood tests done, nothing indicating high blood sugars, thyroid very healthy etc 3 years ago my hands started shaking, tremors in my core – saw Neurologist and was told I have essential tremors – both sides and my core body affected – So I have on going shakes even at rest. Double vision started last year (Aug), facial twitching around both eyes and sides of mouth – back to Neurologist – still essential tremors – blood pressure a bit high. See eye specialist in Sept of last year – eyes scanned and every kind of machine testing possible with pictures taken - eyes very good, no damage no sign of blood vessel bleeding etc. – I had a follow up just last week and was very pointed in asking about nerve damage due to Diabetes and he could not find a thing wrong with my eyes – still have issues with double vision that comes and goes, mostly at the end of the day. March of this year – have dizziness when walking, vertigo when turning my head to the point of falling down (broke ankle in April of this year) right hand going numb at the fingers – see a new Neurologist May 23rd and I have a nerve test done and I have the beginning stages of carpal tunnel with nerve damage. She sends me for a diabetes test. She test for vitamin issues as well Results of testing – Vitamin D extremely low – puts me on 4000 UI a day Hemoglobin A1C 7.2 Glucose Tolerance Fasting 6.8 mmol/L Glucose 2h 13.7 mmol/L Go see my GP – discuss results – will do another A1C test Aug 23rd – was told to just watch my sugars. Asked if I need medication or to be referred to someone and GP said not at this time, concerns that the low Vitamin D might have caused issues with insulin ? So to my questions – I know my numbers are bad, and can Vitamin D really have that major effect on insulin etc Can I have such bad diabetic neuropathy damage already - double vision, facial twitching, numb feet and legs, carpal tunnel, dizzy, vertigo and numb fingers. To date I have cut carbs out (never really had a lot in the first place) and upped my walking to and hour and a half a day. [/QUOTE]
