Hello, Thanks for your query. The chronic high blood sugar associated with diabetes can lead to a form of nerve damage known as peripheral neuropathy. Pain is characterized by spontaneous burning or shooting pain in the feet. It often occurs at night while sleeping. The pain of neuropathy may come and go over the course of the disease and may be accompanied by a gradual loss of feeling in the feet that begins in the toes and progresses upward. Treatments for diabetic neuropathy include blood sugar control, medications such as antidepressants or anti-seizure drugs, and vitamin supplements such as B vitamins and alpha lipoic acid. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
