Pins and needles in foot

[Chelseaspie]

Hello all

I am a type 1 diabetic since 2001, my most recent HBA1C was very good with an average blood suagr reading of 7.1

Recently i have had a few highs as i have started a new job and sometimes over drink fanta to prevent hypos (its a very high paced work environment). I have got pins and needles in my big toe for the last few days that doesnt go away, i can barely feel it when moving but when i lie down on my back or any side i can feel it clearly.

When i tough my toe it goes pink - white very quickly and my other toes arent affected. This numbnessy feeling started two days instantly (no slow build up).

What could this be?

Thank you for any suggestions.

HI @Chelseaspie, The troubles in big toe only might be quite a local cause but seeing your doctor is the best bet to getting it sorted. Best Wishes.

New job = new shoes? Little known fact but 80% of foot problems are caused by footwear. Change back to some comfortable shoes and see if it improves. Give it a few days.

Could be Neuropathy?
