1. Blurry vision, thirst, frequent peeing, numb and dry feet

Has your doctor tested your a1C, which shows an average BG over the past 3 months? Anything over 6 isn't a good sign. Mine was 9.3 at diagnosis, a heart attack waiting to happen.

I haven't been diabetic for that long, I'm sure others with more experience will chime in.
