Message: <blockquote data-quote="Colin of Kent" data-source="post: 1939375" data-attributes="member: 468270">Hello folks.I've been keto for nine months now, and I've gradually become more prone to pins and needles over that time. In itself, this isn't really a concern, but about six weeks ago I got it in my right big toe on a permanent basis, and it seems to have got progressively worse, spreading to some other toes in both feet now. I've heard that vitamin B1 deficiency can contribute to neuropathy, and that 'diabetics' are prone to B1 deficiency. But I don't know if the term 'diabetics' means all of us, including Type 1?I would say I eat a well-formulated keto diet, including plenty of salt, and nothing has changed in my diet in recent months. I've started a B1 supplement, but only a few days ago, so too early to see any results yet.I also get light-headed more often than I used to, especially when standing from a squat. I know this is related to blood pressure, but I don't know any more than that. I often feel dizzy on waking and can't see properly for a while after I get up.I don't know if these two problems are related, but I'd be grateful for any ideas or suggestions anyone here might have. Thanks!</blockquote>
