Hi,
You know how when you sit for a long time in one position your foot/leg start to fall asleep (aka - pins and needles)? Well, I have been having a lot of it lately, and it correlates almost exactly with the timing of me starting to eat healthier and losing weight (low carbing), and controlling my BGs.
I used to have this problem even as a young man years ago, but it kinda disappeared for the past few years (the period of time I suspect I was a "hidden" diabetic).
This isn't the diabetic neuropathic pain I am talking of (though there could be a correlation), but just the regular sensation of your legs falling asleep.
Why would there be a negative correlation between BGs and greatly increased occurrence of this problem? Could it be due to some dietary deficiency brought about by a low carb diet?
Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks!
