Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Izz33" data-source="post: 974298" data-attributes="member: 216535">Thank you all for your replies.I've been back to my GP this week for test results from some nerve conduction tests and also my latest HbA1c.The nerve conduction tests are inconclusive, so I need further tests and to see a neurology consultant following the tests, but it is really worrying, as at the initial tests I was asked if anybody in my family had suffered from nerve disorders, or ended up in a wheelchair whilst quite young! There is no family history of either, but still very concerning.My latest HbA1c result was 44 and the GP I saw this time didn't think that the nerve problems were associated with the diabetes as my initial result was only 55 and she felt this wasn't high enough to cause diabetic complications. My vitamin B levels were tested initially and I was told that they were OK but I have been taking a vitamin B complex since reading initially that this could be a problem.I'm already taking Gabapentin and Tramadol for a spinal disc bulge, which is causing sciatica, and awaiting a further procedure. I wondered whether this may have some impact on the numbness and tingling in my feet, but this wouldn't explain the tingling in my hands. I used to dance 2-3 times a week, go to the gym and walk quite a lot. This has all turned me into a couch potato that tries to get out and stagger around for about 30 minutes when I have the motivation, as I need the exercise to impact on my blood glucose levels.I'm just hoping that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel?</blockquote>
