Question: I have been feeling as if a thin layer or film is surrounding my toes and pad like feeling on the soles just under the toe region of feet. Not the whole feet . I have no other issues except this.
First i was advised vitamin b12 supplements aa vitamin b-12 was low .
My average blood sugar levels are between 6..0 to 6.8 as i am trying to control through diet alone . I am pretty active as i play tennis daily . But whenever I sit this pad like feeling and weird feeling is always there . Also when i scratch between my big toe and next toe i feel less sensation ..rest of the toes it is ok
Apart from this problem i have absolutely no other issue. I don't feel tired, my appetite is normal my frequency of urination is normal .
I am very active physically. I have consulted on previous occasions tried b12 vit d.
My last avg blood sugar level was 6.6 and 143 taken 1 month back
