[QUOTE="Shas3, post: 2069314, member: 501900"] Thanks... when I realized i had foot drop and some tingling sensation in feet (not much in way of pain) while recovering from a fracture, the suspicion was autoimmune issues and all antibody tests for autoimmune came negative. So these were ruled out and doctors concluded that neuropathy in peroneal nerves (confirmed through a nerve conduction test) was linked to diabetes (without specifying TIND). During the almost 3 weeks of tests there was visible improvement in foot drop, though minor. Though my B12 was within normal range it was closer to the lower end (300 pg / ml or something like that). Based on these doctors supplemented B12 and other stuff deemed as supportive of nerve recovery. And it definitely helped with foot drop. I am extremely relieved that i can dorsi-flex my feet. Diabetes treatment in first few months was Metformin and Forxiga which led to rapid weight loss and rapid drop in HbA1C. But Forxiga created a lot of issues and in my opinion it is not the right way to address high sugar levels as instead of helping body absorb sugar it filters it off creating an artificial sense if sugar control. Anyway I stopped Forxiga and was put on Onglyza (Saxagliptin). I am currently on these two but really want to stop Onglyza asap [emoji19] [/QUOTE]
