Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 -- Hi Faith! I have the same kind of tingling/numbness with my feet, and the doctor said it was from the poor circulation, and could be the start of neuropathy, and suggested that i gain tighter control of my sugars, and that seems to have helped a great deal for me.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Hi Faith - I agree with . I can tell if my sugars are high (for me that is 150-160) because I start tingling and sometimes itch. Once my sugars are down, it goes away. I also try and keep tight control so it doesn't happen very often. You can reverse the numbness and tingling if you get your BGs down. Try testing when you have those sensations and see what your BGs are. Bet they are up there. Carole [alldiabeticinternational] Re: Neropathy Question -- Hi Faith!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Hi Faith I'm 53 now and have had diabetic since I was 39. I take diabetic as a delaying game. It has specific onsets of ailments and neuropathy is one of them. 'Wambo1941' has given a very good account of the condition. However, the better we take care of ourselves, the more delayed is the onsets. As for neuropathy, I am also experiencing the phenomenon: numbness, tingling sensation, etc. The first step I took was to take a tighter control of my sugar level. This meant taking measurements, adjusting my menu for controlled carbohydrate and more physical exercises like brisk walks. In addition I also undergo treatment on Dr Philips' Rebuilder TM machine - an electronic devise + special electrolytes that help to check or even rejuvenate the nerves.
