Neuropathy: This can happen with diabetes, but doesn;t mean you have diabetes as there are other reasons why this can occur and is not exclusive to a diabetic.

Could be: You would be best to have it checked out. It could be the beginning of neuropathy which is not always related to diabetes.

Could be.: Neuropathy is a condition resulting from abnormal nerve function. Neuropathy can be due to certain vitamin deficiencies, nerve damage due to trauma, alcohol consumption, radiation, side effects of certain medications, or due to certain medical conditions such as diabetes. Treatment varies depending on the cause of the problem. Have it evaluated and appropriately treated.
