Sporadic burning or severe leg/foot pain at night in long-standing Diabetic neuropathy is common. The key is good sugar control, and for pain prevention doctors usually prescribe nerve-pain medicines like Pregabalin or Gabapentin, sometimes along with vitamin B12 supplements. Keep your feet protected, avoid walking barefoot, and do gentle stretching. Since these medicines need proper dosing, consult your doctor to start the right one and monitor response.
