Can Recurring Tingling In Arms And Sugar Craving Be Interrelated?
HI, I m 19 years old frmale. I weigh 165 lbs and I m 5 ft 9in. I have this tingling feeling in my left arm. I had it a couple weeks ago and it stayed for about 3 days then went away but it has come back in my arm again. Also I have had some cravings for sugar the last couple days.. I don t know if that is at all related but do you have an idea of what it could be?

Hi,
Yes, patients who take much sugar and who are diabetic are prone to have tingling in limbs but that will come gradually after few years. In your case, I don't suspect it to be in correlation with sugar. It might be some nerve compression from the neck region.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
