Cold Hands

[PinkGrapefruit]

The fewer carbs I have, generally the colder I feel, but increasingly I am finding my hands get ever so cold. today they are freezing cold, whilst the rest of me is fine. Well perhaps my feet a a touch numb, but I seem to get this often too.

I am low carbing, but only 50-80g some days 100g. My BS is excellent, and I am in good shape.

Next time I see my DN I am going to discuss this.

I too have ✻cold hands✻ ..I read somewhere that is a known side effect of Metformin ..even through the summer, I occasionally wore gloves.

It's nevertheless reassuring to know that this hasn't just happened to me.

I'm exactly the same. Hands and feet always cold day and night. Keeps me weakened even with two pairs socks on.

I'm no different now to what I was for the 22 years prior to 1972 - I still have cold hands and feet a lot of the time.

However - if you aren't like me - I suppose (but don't know) it could possibly be an early sign of either diabetic neuropathy or indeed, hardening of the arteries?

Cold hands and feel were one of my symptoms when I had a defunct thyroid. Once I got replacement therapy it was like putting them in a warm bath.

cold hands and feet can be due to circulation or thyroid problems.
