Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Such burning sensation in diabetic patient is known as diabetic neuropathy.

It has no relation with recent blood levels but it has relation with long standing blood sugar levels.

There is no treatment once this neuropathy develops but you can prevent from further development.

To prevent it from further progress you have to maintain strict glycemic control. This will prevent the further neuropathy development.

Vitamin B complex, poly unsaturated fatty acids are neuroprotective and help improve the situation. Please take it under your doctor guidance.

You can take cetrizine, paracetamol for temporary relief of the situation.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
