Numb/sore li'll fingers for over a week. Can I sort this or am I stuffed? (peripheral neropathy?)

[freenarative]

I looked around for information and it looks like I have diabetic peripheral neuropathy. However I know nothing about medicine so I could be wrong

* numb/painfull ingers for over a week
* reduced sensation
* pins and needles
* DT2

So... If it is DPN... is it permanent or can I reduce/fix the symptoms if I act fast?

Hi @freenarative, your symptoms could be due to a number of things (many minor) so if you are concerned please go an get it checked out with the doc. I do think many of us tend to automatically put everything down to the diabetes (I'm as guilty as everyone else!), when it could be completely unrelated! Take care, Sue xx
