I'm was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on the 01/12/16 ny hb1 was at 96 when I found out, I have been on insulin but a few months ago started get tingling, pain and cramp in my feet and it got worst at night. Now I have pain in my right knee and hip and start get tingling in my right hand, arm and elbow. I find it very diff to sleep at night as every time I lay on my right side the pain is unbearable. I'm not sure if I'm suffering with nerve damage or could it be something else. Please help

I would go and ask the Dr. that. I was diagnosed 4 years ago. Your numbers are within range. One thing with this, it is a day to day thing. The main thing is to calm down and be gentle with yourself. Smokers are more likely to develop it. Keeping your numbers as close as possible to normal reduces the risk. But it is different with everyone. You have to work with your system. Hugs you will be fine
