There more nerve endings in your fingers and feet than anywhere else.<br><br>But I don't disagree with the sentiment. And unexplained weight gain is another flag that makes testing or speaking with your doctor a good idea. It's good to know the warning signs.Stephanie Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-2826377044939431982009-07-05T13:18:11.612-06:002009-07-05T13:18:11.612-06:00I have a very good friend that has always been hea...I have a very good friend that has always been heavy. He suddenly started dropping weight. When asked why he said because he was drinking lots and lots of water. He waited a year before getting the weight loss checked out. It was determined he had lost the equivalent of two of himself in weight and had severe diabetes. Because of the long weight he now has some kidney damage and his body did what you were talking about, it started digesting the muscle. I know a lot of people with diabetes, not all of whom are obese.ettarosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13178737973585191754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-39342167197319969202009-07-08T12:07:08.985-06:002009-07-08T12:07:08.985-06:00@Stephanie B - I guess "pain" is relativ...@Stephanie B - I guess "pain" is relative. Try setting your lancet more shallowly. :) And are you SURE the finger has the most nerve endings of ANYPLACE??? Hmmmmm. :) :)<br><br>@Ettarose - Losing weight with diabetes is called the honeymoon factor. So (oddly) if you LOSE weight without trying, that is a symptom to check out just as much as gaining is.<br><br>Diabetes is a crazy disease. Probably the first symptom to sit up and take notice of is the constant thirst and the frequent urination. It is amazing how many people know that, but still wander around searching for a bathroom instead of searching for a doctor.Relax Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.com
