Symptoms can range from a numbness and tingling sensation, possibly a burning sensation, to an uncomfortable painful sensation of the extremities. Get evaluated by a professional to determine the exact cause in order to get the appropriate treatment.

Nerve inflammation: High glucose levels cause nerve inflammation that causes burning pain in diabetes. It can be decreased and possibly cured by consuming a very low carb diet (mainly eggs, fish, chicken, meats, vegetables, butter, olive oil). Taking omega-3, getting at least 30 min of sunshine around noon time daily or taking vitamin D3 ~10,000 IU/day (until vit D levels come up to 70-100) also help reduce the pain.
