Legs are numb i fellgetting out of bed and i am a type 1 diabetic what could this be?

Neuropathy: Numbness and weakness in the legs in patients with diabetes suggests peripheral neuropathy. Other possibilities are stroke or spinal cord or nerves conditions. I suggest urgent medical evaluation for proper diagnosis and treatment. Hope you feel better soon.
