Is it normal to experience weakness in your legs soon after being diagnosed type 1 diabetes?
Two months or so ago, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. A few days ago (and a little bit for a few weeks), I started getting this awful weakness in my legs and arms. Sometimes it feels like they’re heavy, like I’ll flip. Or they’re too light and I’ll flip over. It feels like I’m going to fall down. I know this is something that can come out of diabetes… but this is really soon! Is it even related? Should I call my doctor/educators? How do they treat this?
Thanks!
no, that’s not normal. you shouldn’t develop secondary complications in two months! speak to your doc about this. It doesn’t sound like neuropathy because that is normally a pins and needles type sensation or numbness.

Take care .
I also recently came with the same problem. I advice u to go to doctor immediately because it is something related to diabetic neuropathy,
And get take vitamin B injections soon. Else it will be a serious after. I am not making u fear but its good if u act soon. U need vitamin B immediately. The nerves in the body get effected.
Say u r doctor all the problems u face while walking and how u feel.
Wish u best of luck.
