Does anyone ever have weird feelings in their legs??? It's really hard to explain. It almost feels like your leg or leggs are about to fall asleep. It can come and go throughout the day. It can be a slight tingling sensation or sometimes it can just feel like my leg or legs are weak. Like I said, it is hard to explain. :confused: :confused:

It sounds like it could be the beginning of neuropathy. How well-controlled are your glucose levels?

Yes, what you describe is a well documented and common symptom of neuropathy, a side effect of diabetes. It is a sign of reduced circulation and damaged blood vessels.

The bad news is it can become a life threatening problem if left unchecked.

The good news is that if you get onto it, NOW, and improve your blood glucose control and your circulation, improvement is possible and you may well not only stop, but reverse the problem.

So get to the doctor straight away, and work towards improving your control and circulation. Good luck.
