Just got my newest HBA1C... its jumped from 64 to 89!

I've been getting really sharp, sudden pains in my lower legs, feet and toes.

Anyone else had this?

Sounds as if it could be diabetic neuropathy a common symptom and consequence of high blood glucose levels. Clearly your level is too high.
What have you been doing to manage your condition since your last HbA1C for it to have increased so much, that is the wrong direction.:(
 
Sharp, stabbing pains could be neuropathy @scotcheggs but it usually starts in the toes. I notice you mention your lower legs too. I think it would be worth a visit to your GP or nurse to get a definite diagnosis and rule out other causes, eg circulatory problems.

Sorry to hear about the pains in your legs @scotcheggs

Sounds like it would be worth booking a trip to your GP to get checked over.

Have you had your pulses and sensitivity in your feet checked since diagnosis? (sometimes called the toe tickle, which we should get annually as part of our diabetes review, but some seem to go years without).
 
Wouldn't be just Plantar Fasciitus would it? Not usually pains in toes, but very sharp pains in the arch of the foot.
