Hi all,
I was wondering if there were any folk out there with experience of neuropathy that could share their experiences?
Last week, I was sitting at my desk at work and my right foot started to feel quite warm. I did't think much of it, it lasted maybe 30mins. I removed my shoe and my foot wasn't warm to the touch, just pretty normal temp.
Yesterday the feeling returned, the same kind of thing, foot feels really warm but isn't...
My sugars are pretty well-controlled now, but I had struggled with swings and dawn phenomenon before I found the combo of fiasp and levemir (hba1c in the 40s, following DAFNE rules) and I haven't had any diabetes-related foot problems before. I have sensation in all areas of my feet and good circulation.
It so happens that I have an appointment for a foot check next week so will be asking the nurse then.
Sometimes it's good to hear the experience of other diabetics too.
Can neuropathy come on suddenly, or how did it start for you?
It might be worth noting that I have had a few sciatic nerve issues following a heavy gym session a few weeks ago and this leg has suffered a running injury, so this may all be non-diabetic.
But in case it is, I'd like to be prepared.
