I went to UCONN first thing with a referral from my endocrinologist. This endo, by the way, insists that this can't be diabetes related, mainly because she's seen teenagers with far worse diabetes control that have no signs of nerve damage.

I had an EMG and pretty extensive bloodwork-- they checked for lyme, heavy metals, RA, vitamin levels, etc.

The weird thing is that this has really gotten noticeable with a marked improvement in diabetes control. The tingling continues to progress up my legs over weeks even though I have vastly improved my blood sugars.

I was reading something in Dr. Bernstein's "Diabetes Solutions" (a great read for all people with diabetes, type 1 and 2) and he mentions how most patients he sees experience painful and uncomfortable nerve budding after they improve blood sugar, but only when neuropathy has left their limbs completely numb. So I was speculating that I might be experiencing that sort of symptom.

But so far nobody has given me any kind of answer... the neurologist pronounced me perfectly healthy. Frustrating but I suppose a lot of people on this forum know that feeling.
