Tingling in feet and hands

[RoadRunner44]

I have recently been diagnosed with pre-diabetes and trying to gain as much information I can to help myself. I understand that if you get tingling or pins and needles it's a sign of diabetes. However does anyone know what the tingling is or what is happening when I experience it. It keeps me awake at night and I wonder if anyone knows how to treat it. Is there a medication that anyone can recommend please?

I would say it has a lot to do with blood flow. I drink DIET TONIC WATER for England. Its good for circulation & the lemon in it keeps colds away ? Good luck

Hi, Thank you for replying. Could you tell me why tonic water might help with the tingling? You obviously take a lot of it. Is it because you have the same problem as me?

Hello I wonder if you could help me again. I am embarrassed to say I don't know how to count carbs. Is there a simple way to do this, I feel frustrated because I want to help myself but I don't know where to start.

I have been T1 diabetic form being 3 in 1966. A long time & looked up what was good for blood circulation. Diet Tonic Water, suited the bill. On a hot day its mint !

Hi RR. It has a lot to do with blood flow, I drink bottles of "Diet Tonic Water" with lemon. No Gin. Very cheap at supermarket. Good luck.
