Can anyone help with pain In my feet ??

Is there anything I can do to stop the pain I get in my feet on a evening it interferes with my sleep and is very painful! Starting to get me down!

Hi @hollyo
from your description it does sound like it could be neuropathy -- have you got you BG's in range most of the time ?
i would ring and ask your DSN if you can get in to see your consultant as first choice -- or a visit to see GP as next best choice.

it does not sound like much fun

There are a couple of topics in the forum that discuss over the counter approaches that people have found that help. These include Alpha Lipoic Acid and Benfotiamine. The main proponent was @Tim55. Hopefully he'll see the tag and point you at his topic.

The only other thing, is, as himtoo says, try and keep bg levels in a relatively normal range.

Hi Holly

I was diagnosed type2 after developing numbness in my fingers and feet, and found this thread

Helpful to me.

I hesitate to accept the main proponent accolade though - my thanks go to Omnipod and Winnie53....
