other time it's happened too, stress,anger & almost an emotion can cause highs or lows & pain too has it's own things to screw things up & pain also tosses my BP's way up too.
I've only been diagnosed for just over a year but I'm already getting burning in my toes. Sometimes it hurts so much I just want to cut them off and be done with it. And lately I'm having trouble keeping my levals down. It's constantly running over 200, sometimes almost 300. My doctor switched my meds and we're hoping that the new one will help. It's a case of wait and see now.Gil_T2 said:Although the US & AUSSIE have different BSL readings I think I get what you mean, I've found almost anything can make my BLS swing out of control with high or low readings an example is when BANDIT said yes to comming to AUSSIE to see us I kept a strict control & motitored my levels closely but she she arrived I had 5 low levels in 4 days & all I can put it down to is being happy!
I've been attending the pain clinic at the hospital for several years now but have given up as all they can give is strong pain killers which up set my tummy making me want to throw up so now cope as best I can with out meds, ain't fun but at least my brain sometimes works.
I thought about arthritis to start with. I've had it in my shoulder for several years. But the pain in my toes isn't in the joints, it's in the pads on the bottom tips of my toes. Every step I take presses on them and makes the burning worse. My doctor has already said it was from nerve damage. I asked him why it started so early and he said most likely because they had been damaged so many times over the years that they were more sensative then normal. I'll talk to him about the gout thing though since I don't known what symtoms that would cause.biggbear8 said:
I'm so sorry that she developed this. Diabeties is becoming more and more prevelant in our world these days. And it's linked to so many other problems. Be sure and get here doctor to check her cholesteral levels as well. High levals seem to go with diabeties hand-in-hand.tink7599 said:
Well, a couple of them get a bit numb once in awhile. And one has been numb for over 14 years and probably always will be. I hope it doesn't get worse in the cold for me. I just moved to a very cold place last August. This burning just started a few months ago and I'm not looking forward to winter now.biggbear8 said:
Kikmosa it sounds like neuropathy (disease of the nerve/nerve damage) - I have it badly in both feet to above the ankles and then developed a second type in my legs. It is very painful. I do take some meds - the burning on the tops of my feet did diminish somewhat - it is more manageable. The tingle and shooting pain in the feet is awful. I take a med for that too - it works on the pain sensors of the brain. It sure doesn't take the pain away that's for sure but until I can really get the pain to be more tolerable I will stay on the meds.kikmosa said:
Perhaps yes, but if it invloves embryos then it will involve conflict too. If it is possible to do the research with donated stem cells from non diabetics that will be far more acceptable to the non-scientific world. I agree that so many can benefit - I wish!Gil_T2 said:

well you could imagine they have been made by an old dribbling DV8 who never washes his hands & picks his nose & sores that are all over his body & he hasn't cleaned the muck from under his nails for years either.
Finally found it last night. It can cause headaches. It also says they could pass in a week or two. I hope so.Gil_T2 said:KIKI I'm sorry I can't help as I've been insulin dependant from day one so have no idea of the meds your on, I hope someone can help you out.
Have you tried a google search on them then look for side effects..... just an idea.
