Numbness in the feet may be a sign of diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage caused by high blood sugar). Please consult your doctor promptly for a foot examination and appropriate treatment. Keep your blood sugar well controlled, check your feet daily for any unnoticed injuries, and wear comfortable footwear. Early treatment can help prevent serious complications.
