My question for the experts is what to do about freezing feet that are warm to the touch, I had tests done and there is no sign of nerve damage. But this feeling of ice running through my veins really affects my life a lot. If anyone knows how to get rid of the feeling or experience it themselves I would really appreciate some input, I tried hot water bottle but ended up burning my feet and it still feeling ice cold. My glucose level only dropped this last week when I started the jardiance 25mg tablets and metformin in the morning and has been in high teens, low twenties for many years, now on Friday gone it dropped to 5.4 and has not gone higher than 8.2 after eating. Amazing results fron taking jardiance. Even when in hospital with covid, insulin injections did not help lower my levels as much as they would have liked so I am chuffed but this feeling of ice in my feet started about 6 months ago. Other medication I take is symbostatin for blood pressure, which has been perfect since i started taking it. Glicizade for diabetes too and ramiprol for cholesterol, nothing else.
Please if anyone knows of a quick fix or even something that will help over time could you contact me here and let me know.
As my chemist warned of glucose levels going too low I panicked when I first got a reading of 5.4 so looked at a sensor, freestyle libre from abbott, to monitor my levels 24/7 for 14 days they advise it works that long which would be perfect in case my readings go too low until they stabalise. Any ideas if it is worth the 50 pounds for a sensor, is it accurate, does it really work?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies
