Peripheral neuro....: The most common is diabetic peripheral neuropathy but you need to discuss this with your doc and get a neurology consult if needed. There are several blood tests that need to be done if not done already. The neurologist may also need to do a MRI and Nerve Conduction Test to determine nerve velocities and try to determine the origin of the cause. Be prepared that it can be idiopathic, unknown.
