Can't speak for Dave, but yes, I found my own version of this. With worse control, my peripheries were becoming numb and I was getting some unpleasant sensations. Early stage neuropathy, I guess would be the best likely name for it. On reducing and keeping BGs down to a much more normalised level, the pain in my extremities magnified significantly, really quite strong and harsh when exercising especially. It took probably 4 or 5 months of generally better sugars, to fade to the point I wasn't disturbed by it.
It wasn't painful to the point I needed/wanted to seek meds, especially as I had heard of the phenomenon and realised it was a sign of blood vessel and nerve regeneration. Sure was unpleasant until it subsided.
