Neuropathy: You likely have diabetic neuropathy, or nerve damage. Although the symptoms may be improved by better control of your blood sugar, likely the damage is done. Medications like Gabapentin may be able to help. See your primary care provider.

Neuropathy: I agree with dr. Liu. You most likely has neuropathy. Your blood sugar is still very high and you are on very low dose treatment regimen. It is a good idea to see your doctor again to see if you can go up on your dose or adjust your regimen. Controlling blood sugar is one way to prevent the neuropathy from getting worst. Good luck.

Possible neuropathy: Depending on the affected nerves, symptoms of diabetic neuropathy can range from a numbness and tingling sensation, possibly a burning sensation, to an uncomfortable painful sensation of the extremities. Neuropathy may affect your digestive system, urinary tract, blood vessels and the heart. For some people, the symptoms are mild; for others, it can be painful and disabling.
