Most possible explanation is that your sugars might be high. Your symptoms correlate with high sugars. Vein harvest during CABG will not give you numbness. It is mostly due to high sugars. Nothing to worry , You are just going through a normal progression of diabetes. based on your sugars we can fine tune your medicines and you will be perfectly fine.
