Is It Normal For Your Arms And Feet To Feel Weak?

Numb like feeling

Hi @A DiabetesTeam Member, and @A DiabetesTeam Member, and all you warriors.

Numbness or pain in feet is often from peripheral neuropathy in diabetics. It results from years of glucose spikes. Numbers above 7.8(140 usa).

But the only way to know the real cause is to see a doctor and work through it. It is much easier to check things out and evaluate in person.

For me, when I deplete all the glucose stored in my leg muscles, they become weak, and tired. I have to let them recharge a bit for several minutes, before continuing.

Good luck.
Find the source of your problem and correct the issue.
