The tingling in your extremities could be caused from Diabetic Neuropathy. There are meds that can help control this. One very common one is Gabapentin or Neurontin. Your problem could also be caused from poor circulation. Go to your doctor and explain to him your symptoms, together you and your doctor can work out a plan.

This is likely an effect of a condition known as "diabetic neuropathy". This is a side-effect of diabetes that affects the body's nervous system. \n\nDo not ignore the signs that you are having now. Go to your doctor IMMEDIATELY in order to avoid further complications and to receive adequate treatment of the condition. \n\nGood luck and best wishes....

You need to see a doctor and get a glucose tolerance test.  That is a high fasting blood sugar and needs investigating...;

I'm with the guy who thinks it's diabetes. Have your blood sugar tested asap. If you find out that you are, there's plenty you can do to help yourself....\nhttp://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html

Take a few deep breaths and try to disengage yourself from the situation... in other words, find something to keep you busy and make you think about something else. \n\nIt may not be for everyone, but prayer is a great comfort and stress relief strategy. That's a personal decision though so that's all I will say about that. \n\nLook at it this way though... there are alot worse things that a doctor could tell you than that you are diabetic. I know it's bad enough in itself, but diabetes does not have to be a death sentence. The initial diagnosis is very scary and intimidating, but it's a very controllable condition and you can live a long, healthy, happy, and productive life with it. \n\nBeing diabetic doesn't mean that you are terminally ill. What it does mean is that you now have to make some healthier decisions and probably have to take some sort of medication. I am personally a Type 2 diabetic (I'm 24 years old) and it has changed my life, but I do not let it control my life. I still do all the things that I did before, but have made some health-conscious decisions within my lifestyle. I exercise, take medications, and watch what I eat... which are things that I should have been doing long before I got diagnosed. \n\nIf you are diagnosed, remember to keep a positive outlook. Diabetes will only control you if you let it. \n\nGood luck and best wishes... \n\nPost again and let us know what happens with your results.

Hi Sylvestor\n\nHere are some ideas to healp your healing process. You can cure yourself, but it does take some effort. #8 is the most important. You must detoxify your body of toxins with a cleansing program (colon and liver especially).\n\nQuick Action Plan for Diabetes\n\n\n1. Be aware for early signs of blood sugar problems. Have the proper yearly tests performed.\n\n2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of beef, bison meal lamb or veal.\n\n3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed "junk foods." In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.\n\n4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health.\n\n5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are keys to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.\n\n6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, chromium, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium. Stabilized rice bran supplements can also be helpful.\n\n7. Herbs such as astragalus, bitter melon, fenugreek, garlic, ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and huerque can also provide significant benefits.\n\n8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, oxygen therapy, and professional dietary and nutritional counseling. Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine can also be helpful.\n\n9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Hi!  My son was diagnosed almost a year ago with type 1 so I understand how you are feeling.  There is no cure for diabetes.  Yes, God can heal him but all you can do is pray for that and deal with the diabetes until then because it may never happen.  God would not have given you this precious little boy to take care of had you not been able to take care of him the way he deserves to be taken care of.  My heart goes out to you and I pray that God gives you the peace that he has given me to deal with this.  I believe that both of our sons will be better people because of this.  More compassionate and sensitive to others with disabilities.  If there is anything I can help you with or any questions I can answer or if you just need someone who has been there to vent to please email me at randareed1126@yahoo.com.  There is also a message board for parents of children with type 1 on the American Diabetes Association website that has an amazing support system.  Any questions you have someone will have the answer.  There are so many caring parents on their that have felt all the things we have felt and been through it all!  Here is the link to The Place for Parents messageboard http://community.diabetes.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=adaparents  \n\nGod bless you and your son.  You will be in my prayers.

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

The main short term danger of any type of diabetes is Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar.  A blood sugar level that gets too low can cause rapid breathing, pale/clammy skin, sweating, dizziness, headache, lower blood pressure, altered mental status, hunger, loss of consiousness, and if untreated beyond that it can cause death.  \nInitial signs of low blood sugar can present quickly when sugar levels drop, but recovery is rapid also with administration of glucose.  If there are any signs of low blood sugar, drink a glass of juice or regular soda, then eat a meal.  That should bring your blood sugar levels back to a manageable level.  If those steps do not help, seek medical care urgently.  \nThere are also dangers if your blood sugar gets and remains too high (Hyperglycemia). These effects take longer to appear but can be suggested by: warm, dry skin; intense thirst; vomiting is common;rapid, deep respirations; low blood pressure; rapid pulse; a feeling of restlesness merging into a comatose state if left untreated.  Hyperglycemia responds to treatment 6-12 hours after treatment begins.  \nYour OB will be able to advise you better on treatment options, and it is very important you follow his or her advise.  I hope I helped.  \nMy source is "Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured"  8th ed  \n\nJeffD902-  EMT-B

when your blood sugar levels are not in good control you will not feel well. its doesnt matter if they are HI or LOW. you need for them to stay in balance at all times. the only way to achieve this goal is the check you blood sugar level at least 4 times daily and write them down on a chart or in your blood sugar guide chart. this way you can visually see a pattern of HI's and LOW's. then you can act at once if they start of get out of control. its also a good idea to keep track of extra activities that you will engage in during the day and rainey days where there wasnt much activity during the day. this will help you to see if you have explained HI's or LOW'S or if you just need an insulin adjustment. this will also help your dr. to determine the right steps in taking better care of you diabetes also.

First of all when a person is diabetic, using tight control of blood sugars will help a lot with neuropathy pain. If blood sugar is out of control, even a little, it makes the neuropathy a lot worse. \n\nMy Neurologist has me taking Cymbalta 60mg once a day and Lyrica 50mg three times a day. \nCymbalta helps with stabbing pain. \nLyrica with burning. \n\nCymbalta and Lyrica work very well together for peiripheral neuropathy. In my experience, narcotic type drugs like hydrocodone don't help this condition very much at all and are a waste of money.\n\nFor out of control pain, I soak my feet in icy cold water for about 20 minutes. that really helps when my feet burn really bad. I also ice pack them. If you don't have ice packs, a bag of frozen veggies work nicely. Distrtactions will sometimes help as well. Not passive things like TV, but something that will keep my mind busy enough to ignore the pain. It doesn't always work, but is worth a try. For stabbing pain, I try to massage the spot where the pain is. Sometimes it is so bad I fall. For me Cymbalta has really helped here.\n\nAnd even though it hurts, walking as much as I can even just up and down the block or around the house can help. (But it sometimes hurts like the dickens)\n\nNeuropathy is a miserable condition, and my best wishes go to both you and your son. It is hard to live with chronic pain, and hard to care for someone who has this condition. Bless you both.

Possible suggestions, pinched nerves, carpal tunnell, symptoms of diabetes;   If there is any numbness in your arm, you need to call the Doc tonight especially if the hand is cold or discolored.  Your circulation might be restricted-depending on your age, and other health issues, this doesn't sound right--I probably wouldn't wait till morning.

I suggest you to have a relaxing Indian massage (that is called ayurvedic) and, after that, a massage on your feet. It is Chinese and it is called "reflexology".\nAfter that drink some green tea, listening to a very soft music.\nAnother thing that is great is to watch a very funny movie and laugh. Laughing is one of the best thing you can do to relax.\nGood massage!

when you have diabetes, the kidneys work hard to remove that extra suger form the blood. so you have to urinate more often,and then the body asks for more water by making you more thirsty. so if you feel more thirsty, and urinate more often, then it is  the first sign that you have diabetes.\n\ndrinking more water will let you remove more excess  sugar,and will prevent the dryness in mouth and skin, but it will not reduce the sugar in the blood that you are adding by eating more and more food .\n\nwhat you need to know is  how high is the sugar level in the blood. Then you need to controll the sugar to an acceptable level, by medicine, by reducing food intake, and the exercise.\n\nIt is found that when we have diabetes, our body does not produce insulin. And body muscles can not use up the sugar from the blood just by doing daily routine work and we feel energyless(Lousy).\n\nBut recent studies found that regular exercise and walking at brisk speed( so you breath faster) reduces blood sugar.\n\nBut when you regularly exercise,then the muscles can

Your question doesn't make very much sense. I am assuming you mean you suffer from low blood sugar levels or diabetes. Go to the dr. Its the only way to be diagnosed and treated properly.
