Hey guys,

 I am new to the board and I was diagnosed with Type 1 when I was 20 years old and I am now 28.  I haven't always been a good checker of my blood sugars until recently and I have noticed something strange.  Since I am taking better control of my condition I have been having weird sensations in my arms and legs.  My arms feel like my somenone is squeezing my armpit and cutting off circulation and I get tingling all through my arms and into my fingers.  My wrists feel weird sometimes and I get a tingling from my wrist that goes into my fingers.  My legs feel the same.  I get a weirs sensation in my legs right around the groin area (same as the armpit feeling) and I get almost a flushed feeling and tingling in both feet.  Yesturday my toes were so cold that it felt as if I was walking on ice.  I am a little worried about this and the worst of it is in my arms.  When I stretch it seems to go away for a while also when I take a warm shower.  Oh, also in my ankles I get a throbbing feeling which is also in my sides.  Could this have something to do with taking better care of my sugars?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks and take care.
