[QUOTE="CrazyCatLady2693, post: 2660395, member: 471663"] Hi, wondering if anyone can help me.. I am in my mid 30s, diagnosed 6 years ago (possible LADA, but being treated as type 2, with Metformin) and have recently been having some issues that sound like peripheral neuropathy, more specifically sensory neuropathy. My diabetes is under control (HbA1c 39 a couple of weeks ago) so this is confusing my doctor. I do have pernicious anaemia so he checked my B12 levels (have an injection every 12 weeks) and that also came back fine. It's really frustrating to know something isn't right but tests don't reflect that! The pain/discomfort fluctuates but it has been consistently in one place (down the side of my big toe) but it can be tingly, numb, can't feel temperature, it's definitely worse at night and the sensitivity scale is through the roof - having a very light blanket on it at times is actually painful, the pain feels like it's going right down to my bone. My GP said it could just be nerve damage from an injury but I don't think I've hurt my foot and this has been getting progressively worse for about 6 months. I'm starting to get a twinge in the other foot, in exactly the same place, down the side of the big toe. I'm doubting it's injury related but my diabetes and B12 levels are under control so I'm not sure what could be causing this? If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I'd love to hear them! Thank you in advance [/QUOTE]
