| I take Imipramine, which I think I've heard can help w/ chronic pain, but I don't know if it helps w/ numbness. I take it for depression, and I have since I was 15. It's also called Tofranil.
As for the prickly sensations, it's very minor and is not constant, and the endo just grunted when I mentioned it - and I'm not too thrilled w/ him for other reasons, so I may not being be seeing him again after Monday.
Have you or can you see a neurologist?

Angie, there was a long term study called the DCCT that concluded several years ago that indicated that tight blood sugar control reduced and delayed complications. Up until this study was done, it was only a theory. Ideally, the best thing you can do for yourself is maintain tight control. That's easier said than done, though, as we all know.
