Doctors are fond of telling us stuff they know FU** all about. If your mother feels more pain, she feels more pain and that’s it. Believe HER, not some know all quack. Beav

FWIW (not much): Large "deltas" (changes in BG) over a short period of time can do this to me (type I).  My father (prob type I) claimed the same thing after a short time with diabetes when he was getting under control (too short for neuropathy to set in, I presume).  This could be a neuropathy symptom as well.  My last MD claimed neuropathy symptoms transiently get worse when going from long-term hyperglycemia to normal BG levels. In any case, I would believe your mother’s sensations over the lack of description in a textbook.  What type of pain does she experience (e.g. limb pain, arthritis, burning, shooting pain, dull ache, etc.) and what do you consider "low"?  I would also ask her whether it is caused by large fluctuations in BG rather than lows per se. Hope this helps, Dave S.

how would they know? if she’s right and it helps her recognise lows-praise the lord. don’t fix anything that ain’t broke.  every diabetic is unique!!! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Does anyone feel an increase in their chronic pain when their sugar is low or dropping?  My Mother swears that is the case with her and her doctors all say this not the case.
