Do your feet get cold after eating...sugar?

In an attempt to reduce protein and fat interactions with levodopa absorption, I increased carbohydrates. What i thought was levodopa wearing off, turned out to be poly neuropathy aggravated by increased blood sugar. I noticed my feet getting cold after eating and googled feet getting cold after eating, and the ‘sugar’ filled in because it is a common symptom for neuropathy. From there I found articles about blood sugar potentially being elevated with levodopa. Has anyone else experienced this? Eating less sugar seems to be helping.

Have you been checked for diabetes?

Sorry, I don't take levodopa. I take Kapikachu , Indian Raw Mucuna, a natural dopa

Define "feet." Toes only, or other parts? Bounce back after a little while, or persist for hours? Do you have any bp issues or take any bp meds, do you have diabetes or pre-diabetic? What is your weight? Do you drink caffeinated coffee, how much?

[Hidden in reply to MarionP]

Toes to mid foot, bounce back usually in about 45minutes, usually low bp, but spikes sometimes, not diabetic, weight 115 pounds, no caffeine. I am seeing increased research in diabetic and Parkinson’s link. Elevated blood sugar listed as possibly associated with disease and levodopa in studies.

Ruled out Reynauds, have you?

[MarionP in reply to Hidden]

Also possibly, if not Reynaud's, is simple atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis or some sort of stuck-on clots or other blockages in those very small or hardened arteries. I'd see a doctor.

Don't reduce your protein intake,only excessive intake should be avoided. the rest of your symptoms is unclear, you should go to a GP,
