Sugar molecules attaches to blood which bonds to nerves. I believe the term is “glycation”. Nerves don’t like that. As nerves are attacked, communication between nerves and muscles etc…is broken and/or misfires signals. This is neuropathy (injured nerves). Both large and small fiber neuropathy. Myelin sheath of nerve is usually first to be attacked. Overtime this damage becomes permanent and may spread from toes to feet to shins and upward. Same for the upper extremities. BUT, nerves have the ability to resprout. The new nerves will replace the damaged nerves over time perhaps as slow as 1mm per day. The taller you are, the longer it will take to heal feet. Hard to summarize as it’s a multiple step process.</blockquote>
