Symptoms of Nerve Damage molly   Posted: Apr-01-06, 12:16 PM (EST) Post a Reply Reply With Quote Joined: Apr-1-06 Posts: 1 Wet Behind The Ears I frequently read about damage in the hands and feet, but I seem to have a variety of symptoms that include: Pricking sensations around neck, upper chest, mild leg cramps periodically, light pain in legs, tingling/some numbness around mouth and tip of tongue and slight blurring of vision once in awhile. I almost feel like something else may be going on also. Report Bad Post | IP | Print-Friendly | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top | Tree

Is your blood sugar in good control? If you haven't been diagnosed for very long? it does take a while for normal vision to return, and then you may need a change in your eyeglasses prescription after your blood sugar levels-off within normal range. Have you met with dietician? Are you exercising?

BUT my doctor says that's not a sure sign of anything! You should check your blood subars in these cases. I know for certain that many insulins (NPH and levermere) require you to supplement your diet with daily doses of Potassium to alleviate the cramps I had to get off Levermere because the cramps around my middle got so bad I had to take a pain reducer. Scary! Document symptoms and hope your doctor can enlighten you. General Practitioners however don't seem to know about these things. Get a diabetic specialist.
