Last August I was told I had T2 diabetes and have managed to lose weight through diet only and exercise but in the last 6 weeks I've had a tingling sensation in my upper right leg. I can only describe it as a bad case of sunburn where you can't stand any clothing touching it. I've checked out Diabetes UK website and I think it may be nueropathy. If this proves to be the case should I give up my long walks straight away or continue( as it causes me no pain ) until I attend my clinic next Monday. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's had the same symptoms

- People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.
Self diagnosis off the net is not a good idea........ 
It may be Neuropathy but it can also be many other things which are not Diabetes related. If this is not causing you pain it might seem a good idea to carry on......it may be doing some good, conversely it might also be doing you some unseen harm.
Personally I would suggest you give up for now until you get proper medical advice and a proper diagnosis of the condition.
