| I am recently (5 months) diagnosed Type II and have started reading about neuropathy. About a week ago I started with numbness on the tip of my middle finger on my right hand. I also have occassional numbness and tingling on other fingers and sharp pain at night that runs across the palm of my hand. I have had previous night numbness in my arms (pre-diabetes) and sleep with wrist braces to avoid fist-making while sleeping. My doctor tested for carpel tunnel last summer and I don't appear to have that (at least back then).
Can finger tip numbness be attributed to blood monitoring pokes? Can a nerve be pricked? I am using the Ultra OneStep monitor and change needles every time (although I just read the thread about multiple uses of lancets...)
Is this something I should report to my doctor as an early symptom of something? |
