A member asked:

How to take care of zinc oxide content of diabetic tablets and its side effect like pricking and aching of the feet.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confused?: Pricking and aching of the feet in a diabetic would make one think about diabetic neuropathy. I have never heard of "zinc oxide" in diabetic tablets causing side effects. What diabetic tablets are you referring to?
