Hi all,
I am just wondering if anyone has had the side effect of developing diabetes or high blood sugar because of their medication.
I have a strange reaction after I eat. If the meal is not high in protein, my feet and toes turn purple. And I'm not talking like a little purple, but bright, oh-my-gosh-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-my-feet? purple.
I went to my doctor who gave me all kinds of referrals and none of the doctors could figure it out. Finally, they wanted to do some electric shocks to my feet and calves and I vetoed that. I have bipolar, people! Who knows how I will react to that? Every doctor I saw had to ask me what my meds were for. None of them was very familiar with bipolar, so I had to be very vigilant in making sure they didn't try something that might trigger me somehow.
I'm suspicious that it may have something to do with my blood sugar. Like right after I ate a Cinnabon, my feet turned extremely purple. Sometimes they become numb as well, but not all the time.
So, for the people on medication, has anyone else had the purple feet effect? Or a diagnosis of diabetes? Or anything wrong with their blood sugar?
