[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 337232, member: 19121"] What is so telling about a Type 1 diabetic being on insulin? To make a statement like that without knowing the medical history of someone is totally out of order IMHO. @Ying. Diabetic neuropathy can manifest in many ways from sharp stabbing pains to a constant severe ache it is also described by some as creeping or crawling skin. While as others have said it can sometimes be reversed or improved by getting tight control of blood glucose levels it is also true that once nerve damage occurs it is almost always irreversible so early intervention would seem the key to reversing it or improving long term prospects. It is said that something like 60 to 70% of diabetics will have some level of neuropathy and in many cases it can remain undiagnosed. Risk increases with age and longer duration of diabetes, the highest rates of neuropathy are among people who have had diabetes for at least 25 years. One of the best sites for information on diabetic neuropathy that I found on the internet is [url=http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/neuropathies/#what]http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/n ... hies/#what[/url] You have already given yourself the best advice though Ying when you said: Good luck and do see your doctor :) [/QUOTE]
