Question by Fearful: Can diabetic nueropathy affect individual fingers and toes but not others?
I am worried about having diabetes. For months I have been having pain in some of my fingertips and toes. The pain is not constant but very frequent. I have also been having pain in my tailbone with IBS symptoms. Does anyone know if diabetic nueropathy can be like this and if nueropathy can be the first symptom of diabetes?

Best answer:

Answer by Gary B
Yep. But “pain” in the toes is not a good reliable symptom. neuropathy is usually one of the LAST symptoms to appear.

The ONLY way you can tell if you haev diabets or nt is by blood tests taken by a doctro.

Go to your doctro and ASK to be tested Diabtes, Spedifically, ASK the doctor to perform an A1C test, and discuss the results with you.

Answer by alpla
Might help some but basically the way your body handles glucose has been altered forever.
A less serious Glucose Tolerance Test may show, but basically is best for you to eat and live like a diabetic from now on.
All the damage to blood vessels continues .
