[QUOTE="Rachel Crossley, post: 2044202, member: 505660"] Thanks for this, I have had excruciatingly painful feet for over 4 years now (especially at night - burning, crushing feeling, sharp shooting pains) and finally went to my GP with it 4 months ago, when you guessed it, I was diagnosed with DiabetesT2??? I am 51 and cannot tell you how shocked I was. I have no other symptoms. I am not over weight but a low carb diet was advised (less than 130g per day which I stuck to) but it did not lower my glucose levels much or improve the foot pain. I now take insulin x 4 per day and Amytriptaline, a nerve stimulation inhibitor for my foot pain. The tablets do help me sleep at night now but the pain has not gone. I eat a healthy diet but will try Vit B12 supplements and speak to my Dr specifically about this and request a blood test for vitamin deficiency. My concern is, how long have I been unknowingly diabetic, for it to have caused neuropathic nerve damage in my feet? What other unknown damage might it have caused which is yet to surface? [/QUOTE]
