Hello @logman1 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear about this sudden onset of symptoms you've shared.

I did want to let you know that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on living with neuropathy so that you may more easily connect with other members.

In order to get you where you are needing support most, it sounds as though your doctor told you the numbness was neuropathy or neuropathy related, however, you also mentioned your A1C score. Are you concerned about a potential diabetes diagnosis as well?

How are you doing now that you are on Metformin?
