Itching and observed dark spots mostly on legs. Does it indicates sugar levels high? i used to observe these when i used to take Metformin (mixed with Glimperide...). As legs tingling was very frequent then stopped medicine and following mostly diet control (cheating at times though) and then these tingling and itching was stopped. By the way i used Vit-B tabs for some duration. Then the tingling was stopped completely. Now it started a bit on and off (less frequently). Now not on any medicine just checking on food that eating with moderate exercise. Now i need opinion from members of the forum on my query raised at the beginning.
Regards

Thank you. i will do ASAP. Just took BS reading this morning at 8:30 am its 6.4.
Last item took last night was at around 10:30pm, i.e. coriander seeds chewed and two ayurvedic tabs (Madhunasini). I use these tabs some times not regular. (may be twice in a week, when i feel i took more carbs at that time, just to be on safe side)
as a routine, now a days i am generally skipping breakfast lunch and only dinner between 8:30 pm to 9:30pm. Doing moderate exercise. Another issue is sedentary work at office.
HOBIEONE thanks for the reply. Dehydration? i heard it might happen even if we didn't feel thirsty. but generally i drink about a litre water everyday morning (warm water) later the day take green tea at least 3 full cups (slowly). is it not enough you think? Problem is in cold weather don't feel thirsty.
its a story. a year back one doctor got it tested for nerve reflexivity or whatever they call and said some thing like fine nerves got some low response and as far not a big issue. he written some medicines and said its only to relief but not a cure. i dont want to pump in medications to the body so ignored and stopped Metformin and used B-complex tabs. Then this effect stopped completely. and later on mostly on diet regulation but no medicines. recently a bit disturbance in diet and i suspect sugar levels are again cropping up. mostly spikes during and after dinner times. because mostly in day time i am not eating anything except green tea or rarely some soaked almonds, or chick peas sprouted etc. (i.e. 2 times in a week). Else almost intermittent fasting Dinner to Dinner time.
Further to your suggestion i tested today and the details as follows:
as mentioned already today morning 8:30 am the Blood Sugar level is 5.4 mmol/l
Since morning till dinner time the food intake was:
Sprouted chickpeas -50g approx.
Green tea - 3 to 4 cups
Blood sugar level at 8:50 pm (before dinner) is 5.4 mmol/L (97.2 mg/dL)
Dinner completed at 9:32 pm.
Blood sugar level at 10:33 pm (after 1 hr of dinner) is 6.7 mmol/L (120.6 mg/dL)
Blood sugar level at 11:35 pm (after 2 hrs of dinner) is 6.7 mmol/L
The Dinner contains:
Boiled eggs-4 , slightly fried in Extra virgin olive oil along with 2 small onions+1 small tomato+approx 50g of spinach. This is eaten by mixing with unsalted peanuts (approx- 70-80g)
this is today's results. No medicine is used.
Will take tomorrow morning fasting BS level and will report.
Along with what Hidden suggested, please let your doctor know before you stop medications. This way, the doctor and you are on the same page and the doctor can help make sure you don't drop extremely low. No one wants you -- or anyone else getting low or sick from not eating/taking medication as prescribed.
