Symptoms of Diabetic Neuropathy 

The first sign that diabetic neuropathy is taking place is nerve damage may develop in the foot. Although there are four types of diabetic neuropathy, we will be discussing the symptoms that pertain to the foot. On Foot Doctor Levittown’s Website, there is a list of some possible symptoms that may occur. Some examples of the symptoms include: 

  • Skin– Some Symptoms to take notice of are dry skin that causes cracks, or cuts. Any discoloration that itches or becomes irritated should be brought to the attention of a Foot Doctor Levittown Specialists. 
  • Toes – If any thick fungal toenails develop, and it is difficult to wear shoes, this should be taken notice of and acted on. While sleeping, if you develop a burning sensation or sharp pains in your feet please seek Foot Doctor Levittown services. 
  • Circulation – Take notice of any level of cramping in the legs while walking. This could be due to poor circulation which could lead to amputation. 
  • Deformities – Any physical activity that gives a vague pain in the ankles should be noted. Also, any bunions, hammertoes, heel spurs, ingrown toenails that develop in a diabetic patient are more sustainable to cause harm.
