back form the neurologist

I am back. so, the occasionally numb toe, and twitching legs,
not neuropathy, so good. but both the podiatrist yesterday and the neurologist today feel I have a inflamed, irratated nerve in my foot. He said diabetics have all sorts of nerve problems besides neuropathy. the twitching legs I have to get an EMG for on the 19th. Due to my ridiculous weight loss and ridiculously low carb diet he is do a nutritional work up to see if that is the problem with my legs. since metformin, I just never have an appetite, not even a little. anyway, my PCP had thought the nerve problems were from simvastatin, neurologist says no.

The podiatrist had to dig out an ingrown toenail, really stressed about that.

and the HUGE blood pressure change, who knows? how wierd is it that my blood prssure is up 15 to 20 points from normal two weeks ago? I have to log it for a week, It is staying around 140/90 pretty consistantly for 5 days. why?

as for the diarrhea I had for 3 weeks....thought it was the met
but I took some fiber and havn't pooped since, 3 days, no poop. is that too long?

I still don't know why I am having periods more often than not.
I am going to ask the endo on Monday.

and that is my update on health problems that have occured scince bringing my blood sugar down. I was fine and symptom free before dx. does that suck or what?
