Question

I am hyperglacimic (to low blood sugar).....part my foot is numb and if I touch my ankle it sends electrical shocks to my one toe????

Answer 1

diabetic neuropathy has several stages & all nerves that invoved in a person are not at same stage. at first stimulation of the nerve may cause pain &may like you have severe reflexes. by the time & if blood sugar was not controlled the nerve damage progresses & at next stages U have numbness & then the end stage of a nerve damage is total destruction of it in which U have no sense at all not for pain nor for tempreture,...

Answer 4

You are hyperglycemic? or hypoglycemic? Because if youre hypo (which is just low blood sugars all the time) then you really should not have to worry about neuropathy because that only really happens if your blood sugars get too high. If high blood sugar is the case you better get to a doctor asap and talk to them about what you can do before it gets worse. Which is case in point the single most important reason to keep your blood sugars under control. It does all kinds of bad things to your organs. Neuropathy is when you get nerve damage and cant feel (going numb) from excess sugar being in the blood, it can do significant damage if youre not checking your blood sugar and taking insulin shots. Go to see an endocrinologist as soon as you possibly can cuz that is not something you want to mess around with!!! I wish you luck!!

Neuropathy is when nerve cells die. A complication due to diabetes is when excess sugar in your blood damages and can ultimately kill nerve cells. This condition often occurs first in your extremities... like your feet or hands.

I have that condition in one of my feet... it seemed to start like you describe, with part of the foot feeling numb and/or tingly. I didn't have the ankle-toe shock feelings you describe though.

Neuropathy is a tricky thing to diagnose as it can have many other causes too. A neurologist would be a smart next step for you.

Answer 6

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 7

NEUROPATHY
In diabetes, high blood sugar leads to increased viscosity (in simple words - increased concenteration of sugar and thick blood), which leads to leaking of water into the nerves. The sheath covering the nerves can not handle this, and is destroyed by the pressure, leading to damage of the nerves.
Such damage is percieved as abnormal sensations such as--

NUMBNESS
PAIN
ABNORMAL FEELING OF TOUCH AND TEMPERATURE

this is Neuropathy.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be CURED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Answer 8

Diabetic neuropathy is when the nerve endings in the foot die. Symptoms are numbness and intense pain, as you described. Your doctor can do a dopler test to check the extent of damage, if you actually do have this condition. (I didn't know that people with hypoglycemia got this, but I'm not a dr.)

Answer 9

Diabetic neuropathy can lead to muscular weakness, loss of feeling or sensation, and loss of autonomic functions such as digestion, erection, bladder control, and sweating among others.
Basically your nerves malfunction and can send false signals or even no signals when they should. Check your feet regularly for problems. I'd recommend telling your doctor about this problem so he or she can explain it to you in detail.

Answer 10

Neuropathy sucks. I have it. It is basically a deteriation of the nerves in the feet.
I experience a constant numb feeling and touching my feet can be very painful. My toes feel like they are retaining water and independent movement of toes are hindered.
