A member asked:
Should i be worried about diabetes if my hemoglobin alc is 5, and i have burning sensation in the soles of my feet?

Not diabetes: A hba1c of 5 is normal, you do not have diabetes. You indicate in your conditions that you have a bulging L4 disc. It is possible that the burning sensation in your feet is a result of nerve irritation from disc bulging.

Possible neuropathy: Neuropathy can happen as a result of trauma, or nerve damage due to the consumption of alcohol or certain medications. 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.
