I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes less than 3 weeks ago. It scared the holy youknowhat outof me and I immediately began learning to be compliant. I was disabled by lyme disease 11 years ago...took me down like MS, but very rapidly, was on antibiotics for 6 years. Now 2 years ago I began to develop a neuropathy that seems to only be sensory, not motor and sensory like when I had lyme. It started in my thighs and spread to my torso and then my whole body. My hands and feet are least affected. My former neuro doc said that pn usually/always starts with the hands/feet and moves in from there. Mine is oposite of typical. My current doc thinks my neuro problems may be some sort of post lyme complication. A professor of neurology at UCLA couldn't figure me out so I went back to my primary care doc. Was on lyrica 400mg, clonopin 2 .5 mg tabs daily but that left me high/drunk/stupid so I'm on 5x300mg neurontin daily....sometimes 6 pills. how high does blood glucose have to be to cause neuro problems? My doc complained when I hit 140.
