I am a long time sufferer of HA. I am a 37 yr old male of average weight. For the last few weeks things have pretty good regarding my anxiety level, until a couple of days ago. I have been having recurring pain, coldness or hot fingers and toes. It is not all of them at once or all the time. I have not been diagnosed with diabetes but my brain is convinced that I have a problem since some of these problems have been around longer but never this intense. I am "sure" that I have diabetes. I have read that these symptoms could be caused by neck and back problems too. I sit in front of a computer all day and I know I have poor posture. I often have a stiff neck back but no real pain there.
I made the mistake of going out to buy a blood glucose meter and tried it several times and got readings all over the place. Some good some bad, but since I could not even get the control solution to give a reading within the correct range I think I am doing something wrong with it. Anyway, if anyone with knowledge of diabetes or back/neck problems can give me an idea of what is going on that would be great. Thanks
