Have you spoken to your doctor? How are your BG levels? Do you have any back pain? There are losts of possible causes and you have given use too little information. I get tingling in my feet when I sit in certain positions but I also get a niggle in my lower back and then changing position can correct it.
Thanks for getting back Andrew! .. funny you should mention back pain ! .. I woke up with real bad back pain on Saturday! Feels like I've been kicked or something .. it's quiet tender ! .. and for the rest of the day I was physically sick and the other and too !! Couldn't take my tablets coz of it !! And lastnight had the worst pain in my feet all night ! Think I've only had about 1 or 2 hrs sleep .. feet were constant tingling / numb / sore !
I'm newly diagnosed with type 2 .. but had to change the metformin as I was being sick on them ... too sitagliptin ...
But please ask me anything .. I need to slow this feeling down in my feet !! It's bringing me down .. and I'm already on antidepressants! ! Been on them for yrs !! After my break up .. so nothing to do with the diabetes! !
Many thanks
Mart

You say you are recenrly diagnosed T2, so these symptoms are probably due to some other cause other than diabetes.
Some of your symptoms are consistent with an acute infection of the kidneys, which can affect feet and legs. The back pain, the nausea the feeling of being kicked, the tenderness could all be due to an infection, and the speed at which it hit is also a clue. Diabetes complications take some while to become a nuisance, if you get a raised temp as well then contact the NHS immediately.
Check the Sitagliptin leaflet, since i remember it can have some nasty side effects.

Hiya oldvatr
Thanks for getting in contact!
When I say resent ... it must be coming up to a yearish ... coz of the waiting between appoinments and blood tests and changing meds etc etc it don't seem that long !
The tingerling is what one of the signs were !! So when I told the doc I knew he would do me bloods etc etc .. then that's when I was diagnosed with it .. from the results !
I have NEVER had back pain before !! And it was more of an out side tenderness !! Hence why i said it feels like if been kicked !! .. and the pain in the back is more in the centre !! On the spin !!
But apart from that ! The main prob is the feet !!
It's hard to explain the feeling !! It's like you've been walking in the snow !! And the "front" ends are your feet are numb from the cold ! (But there NOT!) .. there warm / numb and tingling and what ever I do I can't stop it !! Lastnight was the worst .. it might be coz I couldn't have me meds !!??

Hi Mart. If your recent is a year then there is possibility of peripheral neurpathy starting to show if you bgl levels have not been under control. I have tingling in some of my fingers, butI still sleep and can play guitar and that has been with me for about 3 years. I don't have a remedy to offer, no quick fix. There are of course the normal OTC meds. It may be that a vitamin B tab or brewers yeast may help the nerves, i have also seeen CoQ10 and also r-ALA suggested, but I don't have any experience of these myself.
I suggest GP. There is a drug called Garbapentane that is sometime prescribed for neuropathy, but that is a major step not to be taken lightly.
i am still a little concerned that you seem to have a general effect in both feet at the same time, which is I think unusual. There may still be another underlying issue. By the way, what are you using instead of the Metformin and Sitagliptin?
