I'm just joining this group. I've had Type 1 diabetes for 52 years since 1970 at 8 years of age. Started feeling neuropathy in my 20s but it seemed to go away for awhile. In my late 50s it started coming back. I don't feel pain, but just tingling and restless foot syndrome. I've never been diagnosed, but exercise especially running seemed to help it. I still run, but at 61 years of age, I'm unable to run as far and the neuropathy is getting much worse. It mostly affects my sleep. I hope to learn from some other experiences in this group.

Hello @bryano, Welcome to Connect. I lost my ability to run long before I turned 60 so kudos for you keeping at it. There are a couple of other discussions you also might find helpful:

Does your doctor think the neuropathy symptoms are related to your diabetes?
