Can your feet tell you how uncontrolled your diabetes is?
Surprisingly, yes...
When blood sugar stays above 140 for long hours, it can start affecting the small blood vessels and nerves in your feet.
Early signs often show up as
→ Burning or heat sensation
→ Tingling, pricking, or needle-like pain
→ Occasional pain without injury
→ Numbness or reduced sensation
→ Feeling like you’re walking on cotton, petals, or a soft mattress
→ Not realizing your slipper has slipped off or thinking you forgot to wear one
These are not random symptoms. They can be early signals of
diabetic nerve damage, caused by reduced blood supply to the nerves. Your feet
are often the first messengers if you’re willing to listen.
Ignoring these signs doesn’t make them disappear. Understanding them early can help you prevent long-term complications.
