Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.
(I hope someone caught the GoT reference... ANYWAY)
So recently, I've been having this intolerance to the cold. It finally became fall in Savannah, GA after being between 80f-100f for the last five months, but it's only been 60f in the last few days and I'm freezing cold. I'm wondering if there's a connection between diabetes and cold intolerance, and if there is, if it's normal?
I read YahooAnswers on this, and all of them say "IT'S NEUROPATHY! YOUR FOOT'S COMING OFF!" and that scares me to death. I'm a relatively healthy person with T1DM, and my latest a1c was 6.3 ... I don't know. It's coming up on my first complete year with having diabetes, and I'm still new to everything.

I'm glad I read this because I used to have a really high tollerance of the cold, and in the past few years I've become a total wimp...I didn't think it was the onset of Neuropathy, but I just assumed I had poor circulation due to being diabetic. I've never heard of hypothyroid. Next time I see a doctor I'll get that looked into.
Oh also "Ours is the fury", "Hear me roar", "We do not Sow", "Family, Honor, Duty" Etc etc etc.
