I'm 23 and get this strange stiffness and heavy sensation in my legs after I eat.I also feel very weak in my legs like I am having to drag them I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this my blood sugar readings are all normal and my control is good it doesn't matter if I eat heavy carb meal or a low carb it happens all the time I also get very itchy legs when this happens :/ I am worried it is something bad

Hi Ryan1990,
Sounds like some kind of eating disorder, best get some advice from your GP.
You say your 23 but your profile reads 31,not sure which one is correct. should not make much difference.

Welcome to the forum and best of luck and don't worry as your GP will soon sort things out.

Yes, when I was on no medication when my level got high 17+ my legs and feet would feel like that

Higher levels and my arm and back would go the same

At bg levels of 20+ I wouldn't be able to feel my feet, and almost feel a few times
