It could be neuropathy that your feeling, but it could also be circulation. I would suggest talking to your doctor. I had a ultrasound done of my legs before I had foot surgery. With an ultrasound, you will know if the circulation in your legs is adequate.

Exercise is key in diabetes. It will help lower your blood sugar and increase the circulation of blood.

Before you try anything, get in to see your doctor. Keep us updated!
