A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get tested: Hi. Diabetes is possible and could cause foot pain by nerve damage or an injury. 4 ways to diagnose diabetes: fasting glucose, random glucose (not fasting), A1c, and oral glucose tolerance test; each test has its own diagnostic criteria. Most doctors start with a fasting AM glucose because it's cheap & easy. Get tested! In the meantime, healthy lifestyle FOR LIFE: healthy diet & regular exercise.
