Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 Hi Margie. This is a very unfortunate side effect of diabetes!!! It can be so bad that you eventually lose the feeling in your feet and can develop sores that can become gangrenous. People with diabetes have to be very careful of this as they can require amputations if the feet are not taken care of. I am trying to get my blood sugar under control at the moment but already am experiencing early symptoms of neuropathy in my feet (tingling etc). Can't wait to hvae my surgery and get this and BP under control. Not to mention how cute I will be!!!
