| My feet were painfully sensitive to the cold for a couple years before I was diagnosed. (That and several other problems tell me I was probably diabetic long before I got diagnosed.)Felt like I was approaching frostbite when I just stayed outside long enough to sweep the porch or to walk from a parking lot into a store. Wearing dress shoes was especially bad as the soles are thin. Wearing thicker soled shoes helped hold in the warmth, so helped a little bit. Getting those blood glucose readings down, down, down is what really made the difference. My feet still get cold easier than other people's, but they do not feel painful every time they are cold. I do think the pain upon cold is likely evidence of neuropathy. Neuropathy can get better with better A1Cs, especially if it is not too bad to start with. I also understand r-alpha lipoic acid helps. |
