Hello, As I have peripheral neuropathy and am pre-diabetic could you tell me how the doctors decided it was due to the diabetes? Also would you be able to explain the feeling of the neuropathy you experience and how is it treated. Any other information would be so helpful. Thanks

Hi i sent a reply did you get it if not i will do it again

Thanks for replying. I certainly have the symptoms you describe. Firstly what is an ABI test? Until I see my lung specialist in about 2 months time my GP won't do anything further until then. They need to know (by eliminating colomycin from my system) that it is that causing my symptoms or maybe because I'm prediabetic with kidnypey disease. We will all know more, I hope at the end of the three months I will have been off this medication.

I don't know what AC1 means. If you could let me know I'll ask at my next appointment.

Thanks again.

Hi basically your doctor will take your word for it about your symptoms and can diagnose straight away He can perform a filament test on yor feet which will give him a good idea i have had nerve conduction tests which are conclusive proof of what you have .My symptoms are burning stinging tingleing with pins and needles in hands legs arms and feet with dull aching flu like pains and sharp jabbing pains in rest of body and legs which arevworse at night and i cant stand bed clothes on me can be painful wen touching me hope this helps.plus i get a lot of numbness especially in my feet and hands i cant feel pain from sharp objects and i cant tell tempertures hot or cold can be dangerous.

Well, I get the pins and needles in my hands and feet. The stabbing pains fairly frequently in parts of my body including legs. Thank goodness I still feel pain and can feel different temperatures. I still don't know how they will know what causes it though. Thanks so much for the information. I'm trying to build on my basic understanding.
