Feeling cold?
I was diagnosed a little over 2 years ago, and had managed to reverse my diabetes through diet and exercise. Since then I’ve had a child, taken a new job, moved, and generally lived through a pandemic, so I’m back playing catch-up again. Since I’ve started getting my glucose in check, I’ve been feeling very cold, even in temperatures where I’d normally be warm. I assume this is because my blood is literally thinner. Is thin an experience anyone else has?
Hi
, thanks for your question! It's certainly an interesting one and I hope other members are able to chime in with their experiences. Here's a list of some type 2 diabetes symptoms: https://type2diabetes.com/symptoms . It might be helpful – I thought the part about high blood sugars and circulation was interesting, as I was always told growing up that feeling cold was related to poor circulation.
However, it's best to speak with your doctor because they know you and your situation and we aren't able to give medical advice. I hope they'll be able to give you more answers!
Also, congratulations on being able to get your diabetes well managed! That's a fantastic accomplishment. It's always a journey and life's major events can affect goals sometimes, so it's great to hear your re-newed focus on controlling your diabetes.
Best,
