I'm on Lantus at night and Byetta 2x before meals. My eyesight was the worst symptom at first, it deteriorated really badly. Now I've changed my diet and on meds my vision has improved in the 2 months. But I've noticed, now it's getting cold that one of my toes hurts if my feet aren't kept warm. It's painful and then it's numb. i'm scared it could be peripheral neuropathy. The only thing I can think of to do is to keep my feet warm, which is easy when i'm at home. But what if i go out? i went out and my feet got cold and the toe was really painful. I can't pile on layers of socks because none of my shoes will fit. Anyone else experience this? What do I do?? Help!
See you doctor ... I'm currently on Neurontin for just what you are experiencing in your feet.
