The sense of touch in places like the feet gets impaired.You dot feel any pain.Any injury does not heal properly unless extreme care is taken and blood sugar levels are brought down.The constant presure we put on the foot also does not help in healing.

Neuropathy is a collection of disorders that occurs when nerves of the peripheral nervous system (the part of the nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord) are damaged. The condition is generally referred to as peripheral neuropathy, and it is most commonly due to damage to nerve axons. Neuropathy usually causes pain and numbness in the hands and feet. It can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic disorders, and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes of neuropathy is diabetes.
