Over the past 3 weeks I have had a mild sensation of pins and needles in my right arm and in my fingers which has been more pronounced over the past 2 days. It's not there all of the time but suddenly it becomes very apparent for no reason. I am seeing my GP (joy of joys) on Monday you know a guilty routine appointment has been granted to me following a good Hb1Ac result. This is the first time since diagnosis in February and I have waited 3.5 weeks for an app. Do I need to mention it or should I just wait to see if it goes away? I also would like to know about B12 defiency as I believe this is a symptom as well as a few others I seem to have. I am also on 200 mgs of Thyroxine which they are about to up apparently! 1500metformin and 40Gliclazide! I sound like a druggy! I really don't want to make a fuss if it's not be necessary?!?! Any suggestions?
 
Definitely discuss it with your doctor and do NOT let him blow it off as just an inevitable D symptom. Insist on having it investigated, it could be a pinched nerve in your neck or something else.
