Dear Sandy,

The best defense and treatment for this is to improve the self monitoring of blood glucose, keeping it at normal levels helps prevent the problems. i can sympathize because i have a bit of the neuropathy in my foot and this may be from the fact that at the beginning of my 31 years as a diabetic they didn't control blood glucose as well as they can now.

I do have an old injury in that foot, in which I had an ankle reconstruction, so because gout is a form of arthritis, it loves old injuries. That explains why it is in my ankle and not other joints. As for my blood sugars, they have been well controlled, with my highest reading while I had the swelling only being 119, so the doctor was pleased to see my numbers staying down.
Lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (LRPN) is a multifocal, asymmetric, painful neuropathic disorder affecting multiple levels of lumbosacral plexus, nerve roots, and distal nerves that emerge from the plexus. The disorder was first described in diabetic patients (DLRPN) and was later found to occur in nondiabetic patients as well. There have been debates as to the pathogenesis of DLRPN and LRPN.

Suffered optic stroke 10 years ago with total recovery of vision. What could this be and how to treat. He was told by prison medical staff that was not life threatening.

If one is diabetic and has an accident causing trauma, like blunt force, to the foot damaging nerves, is this considered diabetic neuropathy, or can it lead to diabetic neuropathy? A comprehensive foot exam to assess the skin, muscles, bones, circulation, and sensation of the feet is in order. People who cannot sense pressure from a pinprick may have lost protective sensation and are at risk for developing foot sores that may not heal properly.
There are other tests the doctor can run.
m walking on hot stones and my feet are constantly feeling hot and burning. The condition is called Diabetic Neuropathy where the nerve endings at the bottom of your feet fire off at a much higher rate of speed than normal which causes this burning sensation on the soles of your feet.
