Confused Diabetic Neuropathies

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping that someone here is able to answer some questions.

I've been diabetic for nine years, but started experiencing pain in my feet ten years ago. Just recently, I suddenly became much worse. I started losing my balance, falling down, etc. My PCP referred me to a neurologist. After several weeks, 10 vials of blood for labwork, and various tests, the neurologist said that I had damage in the autonomic and central nervous systems. I was so surprised, that I couldn't think of what to ask him so I really don't know what the exact diagnosis is.

Since then, I've started experiencing tingling sensations in most of my body. It feels like an electrical current running from my toes up through my body and down my arms to my fingertips. The first time it happened I thought I was lying on a "magic fingers" bed! I felt like I was vibrating all over. Everywhere my body touched the bed was vibrating, including my ribs and belly.

Has anyone else experienced this type of sensation? Or know what it might be?

Thanks!
