yet another newbie -with twitches

[kimbo]

Hello all,
I found i was t2 4 weeks ago, with bm 26.I am on metformin and gliclazide and the last couple of days i have been getting closer to normal and feelling a lot better.I have been getting these sort of twitches all over my body,more so from the knees down though they are calming down also now.Has anyone experienced this ??is it a common sympton ?? It is possible i have been diabetic for some time as i have not been feeling 100% for months.I have a lot to learn,hope this forum can teach me a thing or two.
I know i have to take care of feet,is this just were open sores are concerned , i am sure i have broken my toe today ,does this need any special attention

kimbo, welcome to the forum, I hope you find lots of answers to your questions. As for the foot, I think you need to get it look at and have the doc be aware. I was discussing my diabetes with my friend and she told me that her mother in law had broken a toe and didn't do anything about it and ended up getting half her foot amputated. I don't want to scare you but if your sugars are that high it might take quite a time to heal...I'd play it safe and let my doc know. Don't be afraid to ask lots, lots, and oh, lots of questions here. It's a great resource. :thumbsup:

Hi Kimbo! Welcome! I'm pretty new here also, and have learned so much! I definately think you need to see your doctor ASAP about your toe. I am only pre-diabetic at this time, but my doctor still looks at my feet at each visit, and is very concerned when I tell her anything about my feet. Don't put this off! ;)

kimbo Hello and welcome to our Family...
I have not had the twitches sensations at all..

When I was Diagnosed my then Dr. said he suspects I had Diabetes for about 2 years..I had no clue so that is possible that you were Diabetic before you found out...

as far as your Toe I would get to a Dr. ASAP at least let him/her know about your injury

Good afternoon everyone. I have been lurking for awhile as I have been down with a very sore ear. First of all I would like to welcome all the new members. It is so great to see so many finding this site. It is so helpful and informative. I am finding that things I more or less took for granted for so long shouldn't be. I have not had problems with my ears for years but about 3 weeks ago I had such a problem I ended up going to the dr. To make a long story short--I still have the problem in spite of pills, & drops. I am sure learning that even an earache takes a lot longer to get over.

:) Hi Kimbo and welcome. I am also T2 (8 months) I would strongly advise that you see your doctor about your toe. The thought of anything bad happening to my feet terrifies me and I constantly check mine for damage, not that I have found any. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Once again welcome to the forum it's an awsome place with many people with so much knowlede.

:) Hey Kimbo...Welcome to a great place... so glad that you found us!!

I am T1 myself... but any problems with feet T1 or T2 should go and get them checked out with your Dr.

Hope to see ya around often!
