Hi, recently i have been trying to change from keto diet to lchf due to weight loss issues and I am feeling my feet and hands numb very soon . Just in minutes, does this have anything to do with Diabetic neuropathy. My vision is also blurred even more than before.
 
How are your blood sugars? If you test? Are they high?
I have these symptoms but have high blood sugars.

I'd inform your gp and see what he/she says. If it continues after gp dismisses then get a second opinion. Even prediabetics get neuropathy so good bgs would have to be in excellent levels constantly to guarantee no nerve damage.
My numb toes and under one side of my right foot is numb off and on. Or wheni thave time to notice. GP refered me but was told numbness from bulging discs and scatica. My leg also goes numb when walking and often when lying in bed my hip and thigh does numb too. Only trouble I'm getting blisters unbeknown to me and have what seems to be a dropped toe.
Luckily my foot check is in 3weeks time.
When is yours @varma21345 ?
 
I'm not clear on what you have or are changing. Are you increasing you level of carbs?

I have not scheduled any footcheck yet .last one was more than 8 months ago. I stay in Germany and my doctor here checks only for hbA1c every 3 months and all other tests only once a year so i still got around 4 months to go. I also remember that my foot test was just about sensitivity(vibrating tongs) and a hot and cold test. Is it the same with you or do i need to ask for a specific test ?

my blood sugars are currently in non diabetic range but they are not constant as i am still experimenting with my carb intake so they range in between 70 and 85 on fasting and below 100 after eating.
 
It could be a lot of things including vitamin deficiency. Give your body and few days to to get used to the change in sugar level, maybe increase your level slowly. If your feet do not improve quickly book a doctors appointment to dicuss this.
