Hi there, i'm looking for some advice please. I am going to see my GP at the end of the week but just thought i'd see if any one has experienced this.
I am a Type 1 diabetic and was diagnosed 2.5 years ago. My blood sugars are not particularly well controlled at the moment, the heat plus stress is contributing to this and try as I might, I can't seem to get them much below 12 without taking far too much insulin and hypo'ing
Last week or the week before ( i can't remember exactly when) I started to get pain in my left shin, mostly when I walk, it felt like a shooting sharp pain up my leg. This has gradually got worse and now I have it in both shins, going from my ankle all the way up to my knee. It hurts a lot when i walk and the pain is like a dull ache when i sit down.
My husband thinks it may be shin splints, but i don't run or exercise and my weight is probably a bit low for my height as my BMI is 17 but I wondered if it could be the start of diabetic neuropathy? Can you get it this early on in your diagnosis?
