Nerve damage, a.k.a. neuropathy, is a side effect of diabetes. While most people with the condition exhibit symptoms in their extremities (feet, hands, face, etc.), I would assume that is possible to have to condition in your thigh area. However, I would not play around with the condition you are experiencing. Call your doctor ASAP and get this checked out. You could have a blood clot or a serious circulatory issue going on that needs immediate attention. Call today! \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

get a massage regularly, it will help increase your circulation. See a doctor in case it is something to be concerned about. If you have diabetes, this is a common symptom. Use heat packs in bed (be careful of burns though) and I've heard drinking ginger tea helps also :)

Not only does it pinch the blood vessels and cause your butt muscles (gluteus maximus etc) to starve, but you are also pinching off nerves which is why it can get numb.  Sometimes if you stand up after that long journey your feet get really tingly, it's for that same reason, blood is rushing through causing the sensation...it also feels really wierd.

this could be caused by wearing tight low cut jeans that can put pressure on a nerve on your hips. this called meralgia paresthetica. or it could be sciatica, a pain associated with your sciatic nerve that runs along the thigh.

Honey, are you diabetic? Diabetics feet often don't heal well because of poor circulation. You must go to a Doctor quickly. You need antibiotics and possibly need to be checked for diabetes. Go, Now! Tina

I don't suffer from that problem, but it sounds like you may have neuropathy. Have you ever been tested for diabetes?   Diabetes is the one of the most common causes of neuropathy, however it could be something else. I'm definitely not trying to diagnose you or scare you but it would be a good idea to get tested. If it is neuropathy (no matter what the cause) there are great medications to treat it.  I definitely think you should have this condition evaluated by a physician when you get a chance.\n\nBrian PharmD, RPh

I am no doctor and this is not a medical advise. Anyways, if you experience numbness in the lower limbs, its quite possible due to pressure on the nerves in the spinal cord. Bulging or prolapsed spinal disc is one of the major cause for this. A projapsed disc could occur when you lift heavy objects. You might want to consult a doctor to seek conservative treatment like traction, physiotherapy etc.

That is known as arcus senilis and is extremely common in those of us over 40, but more pronounced in people with diabetes.  It is harmless, but you may want a checkup to reassure you and make sure you have no underlying diseases.

This is a form of neuropathy.  It can be caused by many different things but mostly the onset of a diabetic reaction of some sort.  A good diet, watching your blood sugar levels and getting plenty of exercise to increase circulation should help.  It has for me.

Dry skin or some skin condition, allergic reaction to something, diabetes, poor circulation or circulation problem. If you are getting tingling sensations then you need to see a doctor.

Check with your doctor to do a blood glucose test. Often the finger prick tests aren't very reliable.

I believe you are asking specifically how a person's legs look/feel when diabetes is present in their system.  If so, the legs tend to swell and you cannot stand on them for long periods of time.  They ache constantly.  Only a doctor can diagnose this illness for sure and will suggest treatment.  Diabetes is also usually inherited. But you can also have the "old age" as they call it, diabetes, which my father had in his 60s.  That was caused by too much alcohol and too much rich food (and not exercising and in general, just taking care of yourself.)  So because it was "old age" and the diabetes was brought on by outside 'triggers' (i.e., food and alcohol), it is not in our family.  But please get your legs checked out.

I'm not a doctor and the best way to overcome your problem is to consult your doctor.\n\nAnyway, individual with diabetes will develop certain complications. Numbness, tingling sensation, diminished sensation, followed by complete lost of sensation of hands and feet are some of them. This is known as diabetic neuropathy. The nerves of the hands and feet are dying. This is an irreversible process but its progress can be slowed by strict control of blood sugar.\n\nIf you are diagnosed with this complication, you MUST take care your hands and feet. Keep them clean. Wear good shoes and gloves. Check for injury daily. This is because you cant feel pain when you injured your hands or feet. If not, the wound can become more and more severe and ultimately, amputation is the only cure.\n\nConsult your doctor if you have any doubt or problem. Don't waste time finding answer on-line. Get help from the expert.

You need to have an MRI. What you are experiencing could be caused by a herniated disk (or some other disk related problem) impinging on the sciatic nerve. Pinching this nerve will cause pain from the site of impingement, through the gluteous (cheek of the butt), and down the back of the thigh. It can be almost unbearable at times. If it gets bad enough it could eventually block the nerve signals going to and from the leg and cause numbness. I suppose it could even cause paralysis.\n\nDon't wait! See a specialist ASAP. It most likely will not clear up on its own.

most likely its  a blood vessel breaking in your neck causing a flow of blood to the region... tingling. Or its a pinched nerve.

You could be anemic or other possible ailments. Whether or not you had sugar or not that day is irrelevant if you have diabetes. Go see your doctor for a check-up. Good luck

Could be a whole laundry list of reasons why this might be happening from your blood sugar being too low, not following a balanced diet, to something more serious.  Best bet would be making an appointment with a Health care professional that can properly answer this question for you.
