I`m worried about diabetes - Afraid of getting diabetes, prickling sensation in feet

	Asked by Unregistered on Thu 03, Apr 2008 08:17am
	I am feeling pins & needles in my feet, and am afraid of getting diabetes. I went to my dr. a few mo so I don`t know my medical historynths ago,and he took a blood test first thing in the am and it was 96-my blood sugar. He said you would probably have diabetes for a while befor you would notice something like this, and said not to worry. But I do. I have pcos, and weigh 220, and was adopted.so I also feel lightheaded sometimes. please help me-what`s the next step?

	Answer by Dr.Rohit Agarwal (doctor) on Mon 03, Aug 2009 11:15pm: Dear, blood sugar level below 100 mg/dl is normal. The prickling sensations are due to nerve disorder, which could be due to diabetes and many other reasons. If the problem is persistent consultant neurologist. To reconfirm diabetes, get blood sugar fasting and post prandial done. I hope it will be normal too. Take care.
