Bit of a weird question about Diabetes in pregnancy

[lauraairving]

Hellooo!!
So this is a bit strange but I have been having a weird sensation in my feet especially at night. Burning itching tingling. I've woke up this morning and this is my toe! Pic attached. I've tried googling, and it's bringing up diabetes My MW suspected it in my last pregnancy but I was never tested. My question is, could it be? I don't have a MW appointment for about 4 weeks. I'm only just over 7 weeks, so could it be effecting me so early, and is this even a symptom of diabetes in pregnancy? I'm not sure if anyone will know, just wanted some advice! Thank you.

I don't know about diabetes but it looks like a chilblain to me.... Could it maybe be that? https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chilblains/Pages/Introduction.aspx

From what I know gestational diabetes doesn't usually start in very early pregnancy, i thought it usually got slowly worse through the trimesters but I could be completely wrong.

Hope you get it resolved x

Oooohh maybe it could be!! I can't see why I'd have one! Never experienced anything like it. So so strange. Thank you for your help x

I have to watch my blood sugar, and I don't think what you're experiencing is blood sugar related. Diabetic nerve pain develops after a long time of out of control blood sugar. You'd have a lot of other symptoms first.

Do your feet ever get very cold? I used to get chilblains when I was young spending days in the ice mucking out horses and then warming my feet up by the fire when I got home! X
