Over time, people with diabetes may develop nerve damage throughout the body.
Sometimes this damage occurs without symptoms, and other times patients feel pain, tingling, or numbness in the appendages. This is called diabetic neuropathy.

The best way to prevent pain from neuropathy is to keep your glucose levels close to normal, which helps protect nerves throughout your body. Maintaining healthy glucose levels may also help prevent or delay the onset of future problems.
Sixty to 70 percent of diabetics experience peripheral neuropathy, mostly affecting the feet. The most common treatments prescribed by doctors are oral medications, including antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and opioids or painkillers. Other treatments include skin ointments or patches.
You can sometimes treat the pain without a medical doctor by using a combination of ointments and supplements found at your local pharmacy.
