--- neuropathy--how do you know
For me, it's not a true numbness sensation. It's more of a pins and needles feeling in my toes - like someone poking your toes with a needle. >How does one know when diabetic neuropathy is setting in? Although my feet feel somewhat heavier than they used to, I don't seem to have lost any feeling in them. When it does occur, is it like having a foot that is completely numb?

For me it's numb feet as far as feeling goes but a burning and "pins and needles" as well. I can'tt feel my finger tips to type by touch or button my shirts but painfull as well. Make much sense?

Personally when I went thru it I didn't notice anything for along time. It was only when I burnt my foot on a heater last year trying to get warm that I realized after a week in hospital and plastic surgery that "WOW, I really don't feel my feet" HIndsight is 20/20 however looking back I see now that there were signs that it was coming on but i didn't notice them when it actually was happeneing. I see now that the feeling was diminshed but thru either not wanting to allow the truth to be told or pure stupidity I allowed myself to ignore it. It's not truely a heaviness of the feet it's more like you get a gash and don't realize how the heck it got there cuz you don't remember hitting anything that would cause a cut like that...

I first noticed the neuropothy in my feet when my toes started going numb and tingling a lot. After time it started moving up my feet and now sometimes a good part of my whole foot (feet) is numb sometimes. I went to a Neurologist and had it checked out and yes it was neuropothy.
