Oddness

Pretty much through my life I’ve always had fairly week ankles. out if nowhere I’d suddenly lift left foot and get shooting pain through ankle and quite often would fall over etc.
Haven’t had this for ages but for some reason this week it’s happened several times each day. Usually when I’m going up or down stairs so I nearly fall down and break my neck.

It occurred to me that maybe it’s linked with my sugars lowering (can’t think if anything else it could be) but thought I’d see what you guys thought. Seems very odd it’s not been around for ages then this week every day!

Do remember that just because you are diabetic does not mean everything is related to blood sugars, especially if you've had that issue through your life.

I appreciate that
It’s more that it hasn’t been there for ages so just occurred to me that maybe that was because sugars had been too high.
Was just curious really.

Yes, it is possible due to being at lower levels after being a higher levels for a long time.

Check out Peripheral neuropathy That sounds similar to what you are describing. I had numbness in my legs.

There are of course other possibilities. I used R-ALA to treat mine an no longer have numbness. Perhaps talk to your GP.

I thought neuropathy happened due to high sugars and got better at lower?

plus this was pre D so it’s origination isn’t neuropathy but suddenly reappeared.
