I have these symptoms too, Carol. I've also had diabetes since about 24 or 25, but some doctors have said I'm a combination of Type 1 and 2 and this is confusing to me. Anyway, I do have all of these symptoms. My left hand is usually kind of numb and tingly and my feet are usually cold but I get pains in the toes that are like jolts. I have a hard time controlling my blood sugars which last August were up to 28 (I'm Canadian so I'm not sure what that is in US but it's way, way off the charts!). I can't take either Metformin or Glyburide becaue I'm so sensitive to the meds that my blood sugar goes between 2 and 4 (way, way too low!) and that's dangerous. I'm hyper sensitive or something. Is Paracetemol a diabetes med?
