Hi yes high sugar levels cause Neuropathy. The doctor can give different meds for this that personally haven't worked for me a lots of other people I have spoken to. Been suffering this for 14yrs taking magnesium helps and on bad days when going to bed rub vicks vapour rub on legs and feet and wear pj's and loose fitting socks it calms it down enough so you can get some sleepHi all, as I mentioned in other threada, Im a newly diagnosed T1D, insulin treated for about a month now.
Just wanted to share a few things I have been recently experiencing...which is, that Ive been getting alot of numbness and tingling in my feet and hands, which is making it VERY VERy difficult to sleep at night (seems to worsen during bed time hours). Anyway, I have messaged my doctor and he said it was related to high glucose. I do have a scheduled appt with him today, to see what I can do...
Has anyone else experience this very uncomfortable numbness? If so, what have you done to help manage/alleviate the pain? exercises, messages, yoga?

Hi @JediMindTricksWS just wanted to check in with you see how your doing and how you got on with the Doctor?I do have a scheduled appt with him today, to see what I can do...
I’ve had that same issue when I was first diagnosed and starting on insulin, the tingling and numbness in my feet would always flare up more at night and keep me awake. For me it started easing up once my numbers became a bit steadier, but in the meantime I tried little things like stretching before bed or using a warm compress on my feet, which helped enough to get some rest. It’s definitely uncomfortable, but it did get better over time, and talking it through with my doctor was really helpful too.
