burning sensation at the sole of feet

[mrburden]

hi, My Grandfather feels the sole of his feet burning at many times, also he can not stand much. he feels that he may faint. And the doctor said it is bcoz he has diabetes, but is there any home cure for the burning sensation?

What you describe could well be diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage, usually in the feet or hands). It is a very common 'complication' and I found it to be quite unpleasant at times. I took various tablets prescribed by my GP with varying success.
The one thing that did help me and is widely available, both over the counter as well as on prescription, is Capsaicin Cream. It's main ingredient is derived from hot chilli peppers and it causes a constant heat when applied which, over a few days, fools the brain into ignoring the sensations from the damaged nerves and giving the sufferer relief from the pain.

Holland & Barrett sell a version called Cayenne and here is a link to their description:
