[QUOTE="desidiabulum, post: 400133, member: 39515"] Do see your GP. Numbness in foot can be caused by lots of things. Mine, like yours, is in the heel, therefore not obviously peripheral neuropathy, and is not directly linked to diabetes. But when after several years they finally thought to check it I tested low for nerve conduction velocity, and very low for B12, which is what was probably doing the nerve tissue damage. It took years for this to be followed up, as GP wasn't interested, podiatrist thought it was purely mechanical (I have had trapped nerves in feet), diabetes clinic wasn't interested as it wasn't peripheral, etc etc. Just keep perstering - it may be nothing, but it may be indicative of something else. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
