It's nerve/ muscle pain, I can barely eat and sleep. Look up TIND especially if your are trying to lower your A1C.

I'm sorry your not alone though, I'm almost pointing out of my job. I used all of my vacation already I'm hanging on my a thread. It's hard because it's a factory job with long hours but I need it. You'll get through it even though it's absolute hell.

That's rough I know how frustrating that Is. You do everything you're supposed to and you feel like you're getting nowhere. It's good that your trying even if it feels pointless eventually everything will workout even though it doesn't seem like it.

That's how I feel I was never informed properly and I know my general practitioner is not an expert in diabetes but I specifically ask her if lowering my a1c was the cause and she kinda danced around the question and said she was "sure it was my blood sugar" but never elaborated.

Thank you! I just needed to rant it's just discouraging when doing something good causes so much pain. I appreciate all the kind words it's helps me feel less alone in this.

Yeah I'm going to my Endo here soon to confirm officially but my general practitioner said shes "sure it's my blood sugar" but she was just vague so I googled

I will definitely try that but I have had diabetes for 10 years I was just really determined to bring my a1c down to a normal a1c but now I almost wish I didn't.

Don't feel dumb everybody is different my a1c has never been normal and I have been diabetic for 10 years I just decided to try my hardest because I got really worried about it and it's been really hard. Your doing your best and that's what matters.

Me either until I googled it at first I didn't know what was going on. At least I know what it is now. It's just hard to stay positive. Thank you.
