Odd nerve 'attacks'

You should mention it to your Dr as it's obviously causing you concern, hard to say if it's diabetes related or not but your Dr will hopefully find the cause.

Best wishes and please keep the thread updated on your progress.

Edit to add, if the symptoms get worse and become regular you should ring the NHS 111 or call an ambulance.

 

Where exactly do you feel these 'shocks'?

 

You say in your opening post that the attacks are getting stronger so I suggest you seek urgent medical advice.

 

Static??

Serious response... I've had the odd jolt off cars.

 

Ok - the reason I was asking was because I wondered whether it might be a back or neck issue. I've had both sciatica and a trapped nerve in my neck. The sciatica caused tingling, shooting pains down my leg and also up towards my shoulder, and the trapped nerve in my neck made what felt like static electric shocks and tingles run down my arm and into my fingers.

I don't know if you have anything like that, but I'm saying it because what you're feeling may not be diabetes related and could have a number of causes.

Definitely see your GP. If you can, try to write down exactly what you feel - where, how long, what kind of feeling, etc - because that will give your doctor clues about what to check.

I know it's easy to,say and hard to do, but try not to worry. Get to the doctor and see what they say.

I hope it can be sorted for you.

Take care and best wishes.

 

My advice would be.
Log these events with any relivant activities, environments, (certain places.) & clothes worn... Yep, I said clothing. Certain fibres cause static...

 

Doesn't sound T1 related and closer to some sort of nervous system issue. Try not to panic and get booked in to see your GP as soon as you can. As suggested, make notes of what and where you are feeling shocks, weakness or any other symptoms.
Hug of support.

 

I was having nerve jolts when I went too low carb on lchf diet. Once I reintroduced a little breadcrumbs, it stopped. Very edgy too.
Are you low carbing right now?

 

Make sure you are tested for B12 and folate.

 

I hear you on this. It is something that has taken over your life and you need to talk about it but those closest to you just seem to tune you out after awhile. It's not that they don't care, they just don't have any frame of reference and don't understand why it is the only thing you seem to think about. The people on this forum will never do that. Stick with them.

 

How did you get on @robotears ?
