Have you felt burning and stinging in your feet that just will not go away? What about tingling, numbness or an inability to feel hot or cold sensations? If these symptoms sound familiar, and you are a patient with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you may be experiencing symptoms associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage, typically starting in the toes and feet, caused by elevated blood sugar levels. While symptoms are most commonly reported in the toes and feet, as the disease progresses, they may be experienced further up the legs and into the hands. While symptoms for some can be mild, others may report severe pain and loss of function. ▶︎
