Hi NeeNee - welcome to the forum.
Sorry to hear about your increased numbers. Were there any changes in your life during that time (diet, illness, stress, etc) that could account for the uptick?
There could be good news with your toes: some people who had the feeling of early neuropathy have reported their tingling went away or got much better once their blood sugar was in control. There's certainly hope.
There's lots of great information and support here - nearly always someone who is going through, or has gone through, whatever you are. That has been invaluable to me as I've worked on getting my own diabetes under control.
