Is numbness and that pinching needle feeling like your foot is falling asleep in your legs, a sign of diabetes?
29

Everytime I put my legs up on my couch or I sit indian style, my feet and bottom part of my legs (like the front of my calves) start getting that tingly feeling and numb feeling, and the feeling gets so strong I have to move into a different position..this has been going on for 6 months now…Should I be worried? IS this an early sign of diabetes?
Diabetic foot amputation how will my life be?
27
May
I have been an insulin dependent diabetic for over 30 years. i am developing foot problems but i cannot/have not been able to afford to see a doctor or a podiatrist let alone get health insurance. I have depended on my daily walks to help control my diabetes but struggle to do this anymore because of callus, infections etc , i just cannot afford to treat my condition anymore (creams/pads/inner soles/proper shoes etc) ,
is it possible that my fear of amputation is excessive that i can still enjoy a life or will everything descend into more problems because of being unable to walk so much therefore leading to continued circulation problems, mentally/emotionally issues dealing with the loss of a limb,
I guess i am trying to prepare my self for the inevitable and am finding this difficult. your Personal experience would be great to reference . I admit that i already suffer from depression but unfortunately cannot afford to see a counselor here in the US (my income is approx 550 per month
thanks for any tips of help
ps i do not qualify for medicare etc
I HAVE TYPE 1 DIABETES not type 2 , daily insulin injections.

I have been diagnosed for a few months now and am still getting the hang of it. but I have this blister on my foot for about 3 weeks now its finally healing (scabbed over and gotten smaller) but I don’t ever remember having a blister, even a bad one, take that long to heal. I was just wondering if that had anything to do with my DI? Like I said I’m still new to this.

I need help with a foot problem my poodle has since being diagnosed with diabetes.?
22
Mar
My 12 year old poodle was recently diagnosed with diabetes. He takes two insulin shots per day and is doing pretty good. However, he has now developed a terrible problem with his feet. They are red, swollen, and in some areas even look kind of infected looking. Could this be related to the diabetic condition?
