pins and needles - urgh have them constantly feet (more on left than right) left arm fairly often too :< might be worth keeping a wee time diary of activites when pain gets worse/starts improving, perhaps can work out a pattern? for my arms when pins and needles found usually have any sort of pressure on them for a bit, so i try avoid as best as possible used to lean on my hand with elbow on table a fair bit, stopping that helped.Unfortunately any bread is "devil food" for me sliced, toasted, rolls, croissants etc including so-called healthier wholemeal options so have always tried to avoid. Same goes for cakes and frequently offerred hot cross buns at this time of year. Very difficult to say "no" to well intended folk without appearing ungrateful or precious but sometimes has to be done. Additionally as I don't take insulin, just tablets, any rise in BS for whatever reason always takes forever to fall back again which obviously keeps the average high.i had some cake yesterday :O daughter made me it how could i say no? thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it
curious does bread have same effect or toasted worse for your sugars? I've changed to wholemeal medium sliced bread rather than the big nice n thick warbontons farmhouse used to get. finding a very sharp rise with that also, but an equally sharp fall within a shortish space of time (insulin around 20 mins prior to sandwhich). as toasting will take a fair bit of moisture out the bread i'd expect it to rise faster than regular non toasted bread
