Have Numbness And Tingling In Feet And Toes With Having Blurry Vision. Is It Due To Vitamin D Deficiency?
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Low vit D causes weakness in both lower limb and diffuse pain in limb.
You are having low vit D you need to take Vit D supplementation
Symptoms you are telling suggest low vit B12; you should check B12 and take supplement accordingly
Blurring of vision most commonly due to hypertension, cataract, diabetes. You need clinical checkup for that.
At present, the diagnosis of diabetes is based on the following blood glucose levels: a non-fasting blood sugar reading of 11.1 mmol/l or more, or a fasting blood glucose level of 7.0 mmol/l or more.
During the day, blood glucose levels tend to be at their lowest just before meals. For most people without diabetes, blood sugar levels before meals hover around 3.9 mmol/l to 4.4 mmol/l. In some, 3 is normal; in others, 5. Again, anything less than 5.5 mmol/I while fasting is considered normal by today's standards.
What's a low sugar level? It varies widely, too. Many people's sugar levels won't ever fall below 3 mmol/l even with prolonged fasting. When you diet or fast, the liver keeps sugar levels normal by turning fat and muscle into sugar. A few people's sugar levels may fall somewhat lower. Without taking diabetes medicine, though, or having uncommon medical problems, it's difficult to drop sugar levels to an unsafe point.
Continue taking frequent diet to avoid drop in blood sugar level.
Take care
