How could i tell if i have diabetic neuropathy?

See your doctor: He/she may want to do laboratory testing and/or emg/ncs (electromyogram/nerve conduction testing). Most common symptoms are burning or stabbing or electrical pain in feet and/or hands.

Pain, numbness. : When diabetics have uncontrolled blood sugars their nerves pay the price over time. They can have tingling, burning, pain, a "tight" feeling, and numbness, and once it happens it's impossible to get normal sensation back. Some medications reduce the tingling, but nothing can reverse numbness.
