[Diabetes-Talk] Anyone else loseing some finger sensitivity from type 1

[slery]

Well, Paul, this is something I know many older people complain about. 
So, as much as it pains me to say it, it is probably due to getting 
older. Perhaps yours is a bit sooner or more problematic with added 
diabetes but unless you have been uncontrolled to the point of coma many 
times, I would not attribute it to just diabetes. It pains me to write 
this as I have started struggling to open the cat's treat bag like my 
mother used to do.
