[QUOTE="sdgray22, post: 306804, member: 40547"] Note this is not medical advice just what I feel like, it sounds like you are already on the investigtion trail. Is it worth trying to get to see a specialist in neuropathy to see if any of it is related to your diabetes. I am no Doctor but a majority of those symptoms ring bells for me to do with neuropathy. Leg Cramps, burning pains in hips and bladder problems. We all have a bit different pains in strength with neuropathy, mine burn on the hip and thigh, ache on my toes and stab on my hips and I am prone to cramps and muscle spasms in my lower leg and feet , I look back over the last couple of years (mostly undiagnosed) and realise a lot of the stabbing pains and cramps in my legs feet and hips were to do with Blood Sugars and it takes very low sugar readings to take those pains away, in fact if I go over 8 at any time I can get them back that day or the next and that would be classed as normal readings in the GPs world. Maybe you need to see an expert rather than a GP to find out. Please do not believe it takes years to develop neuropathy pains I have them (but not as seriously as you and only sometimes,some people are seriously debilitated by pain) after what can only be 2 years of being actually diabetic (type 2).
