Hi guys


I was diagnosed in June of this year. Is it common to have occasional foot tingling? It only lasts a minute or so then disappears.

Thanks Mike

Not something I can say I've had Mike.....hopefully someone will come along to advise? I know when I had my foot check 6weeks after diagnosis (June for me too!) I passed ok as my feet are very sensitive and as soon as the dn "tickled" me with the fine wire my foot shot up!!

Hi, @Mike D
Might just be something simple,caused by pressure on the nerves, which in turn can be caused by crossing your legs or sitting on your foot for too long.
I also think it is a good idea to make sure you wear good fitted shoes and ensure your feet are well looked after as they do a lot of work.
Your tingling feet should not be ignored, if it tends to get worse or your still worried, then a visit to the Doctor is on the cards.

Mike,

I assume the tingling you get is similar to mine, ie just like little pins & needles? I have been able to put mine down to sitting in one position for to long & literally 1 min later after movement all gone. I am not personally concerned about this but if you have ANY doubts speak to your Dr. Keep well.

Yep, that's what's happening John ... movement seems to ease it almost completely :)

Appreciate it :)

If I stand still for a minute or so my feet go almost totally numb. When I start to move the feeling comes back. Doctors say it is B12 neuropathy but I'm not sure.

Understand :) I don't have anything like that. I really lashed out on some good fitting shoes and they've made a difference .... I'm 60 so I can understand some infrequent discomfort at my age.

Cheers Mike

I change shoe pairs at the moment from day to day so they all have different pressure points. Rotating through 7

Dr Milton Crane advised 21 Type 2 diabetics with neuropathy pain in their feet, to go on a vegan diet and take a brisk 30 min walk each day. After 2 weeks 17 no longer had sore feet and the remaining 4 reported substantial improvements.
