Nerve damage, a.k.a. neuropathy, is a side effect of diabetes. While most people with the condition exhibit symptoms in their extremities (feet, hands, face, etc.), I would assume that is possible to have to condition in your thigh area. However, I would not play around with the condition you are experiencing. Call your doctor ASAP and get this checked out. You could have a blood clot or a serious circulatory issue going on that needs immediate attention. Call today!

Good luck and best wishes...

I had a friend who was diabetic and he told me that insulin treatment after many years caused him to lose feeling in his legs. That was his honest opinion. You need to go to your doctor and enquire. I wish the best for you.

neuropathy, possibly. Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by the progression of the Diabetes. There are medicines that can treat this. I believe Elavil is used.

if you are more than 45 years of age, get x ray done for your lumbar spine and hip joints because u might have calcium deficiency. even otherwise, diabetics tend to get such problems because of peripheral neuropathy. to see some improvement in either case, you will have to take methylcobalamin 1500 mcg per day for 3-6 months, which in india at least is an over the counter medicine.

I am diabetic too but I had the problem of numbness in my thighs for years before that. A doctor told me it was an inflamed tendon. It has a medical term for it but I can't remember it. She tried exercises first and was going to do surgery but I didn't have Ins. so I didn't get it done. If you find out anything else, let me know.
