Hi :)

I'm a T1 diabetic and i've had it for 2½ years (age 17 atm), and I've had some problems controlling my BG and I still have (my doctor says it's gonna be easier to controll when i'm out of my teenage "phase"). Well anyway... I'm hypermobile as well and I don't know if it's only that but I'm very worried that I may have some nerve damage to my lower legs and my arms, because I sometimes get almost a limp feeling in my arms when I exercise and extreme pain in my knees and feet (I have pain in my fingers and sometimes my hips too, but not so severe). It always starts at the joints then progresses through what feels like the bone (don't know if it's muscle pain, because I can't really place it anywhere). I went to the doctor and she signed me on the waiting list to get emitted to the hospital for an arthritis test and also my shoulders and knees are gonna get tested by an orthopedic doctor (because I can dislocate them on comand :dizzy: , without much pain). My bloodworks and x-ray came back ok. I just wanted to know if anyone has any idea of what it could be or has experienced it before? :confused:

Lemonz,

It doesn't sound like diabetes related nerve damage at all to me. Firstly, because you haven't been a T1 for long enough (only 2 1/2 years). And also because your symptoms don't fit in with the usual pattern. Could be related to the hypermobility. You need to get a doctor to check it out. Good luck !

Phew, that's great. Now I only hope that it's not so severe :D
And thanks for the reply :)
