I went to a rheumatologist recently, who ruled out arthrtis as the cause of my pain and numbness in my hands and wrists. At the time I had pain in my shoulders, but that has thankfully stopped. My symptoms are very carpal tunnelish (though the Rheumotologist said it was not), and worst in the morning.
I am apple shaped and worry about Diabetes. Its the numbness that sounds like diabetes to me. Also, it runs in my family. when the rheumotologist did blood work, he said my blood sugar was fine, but I hadnt fasted for it. I think it was 130 or so. My question is whether I should have it retested? I dont have health insurance right now so I have to be mindful with costs.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
