Diabetes foot nerves: Most will eventually. Have your Dr test vibration and touch in your feet which they should be doing anyway if you have DM.

Not all patients with diabetes will develop peripheral neuropathy, and Type II seem to encounter at a lower percentage. Initial symptoms consist of tingling, numbness, pain, foot coldness or warmth. Typically does start in toes and perhaps fingers and moves proximally. Tight glucose control can help mitigate progression.
