Burning sensation in lower part of feet

Sir

I was diagnosed diabetic 5 years ago. Since then I had been taking medicines regularly. Presently my sugar levels are 90-100 F and 140-160 PP. I have got a problem of burning sensations on lower part of feet. Sometimes it is very hot and I am not even able to sleep. Doctors suggested me to take Pregabil. However the burning sensation increased tremendously after I took it 1 tab after dinner for 3 days and I had to stop it.

Kindly suggest reasons, any other medicine even in Ayurvedic or any other means by which I can get relief.

Medicine is not the answer. You need to change the diet that has got you to where you are now. Go Ayurvedic as an adjunct if you will, but you need to address the underlying CAUSE of your condition, which is out of control blood sugar and insulin resistance.T2 CAN be reversed, but it requires effort. Your countryman Anup has all the information you need, but until he responds, have a look at the biggest site in the world having a major impact on this dreadful disease.

Pl.check your B 12 level in blood.If it is low take Vit.B12 supplement or proper diet which can increase your B12 level.

With reference to normal range mentioned, your B12 level is good. In fact it is more than normal.You don't need any extra supplementary for the the same. In case if you are taking any medicine for vit.B12,talk to your doctor. I believe it need to be stopped. In case if not, keep checking the B12 after 5/6 months. If it is always at higher than normal, ask doctor for the reason.

It appears that B12 is actually disabled by Metformin . But B12 is o.K. in your case .It is water soluble so no problem.But I feel you try with aswagandha churna which is a nerve stimulator So take one tea spoon of aswagandha chura with a glass of water. I also do not deny for a neurologist consultation. But aurvedic churna will not herm you. Thanks

Sir

I got checked B12. It is 487 pg/ml. The thyroid was also got checked and it is also normal. Kindly now guide me what should I do. Which medicines I should take? I have tried pregabilin and the burning sensation increased. I am now confused. What should I do? Should I take some Ayurvedic medicines and if so which one?

I am not a doctor.But I can say that if you try Diavit plus soft capsule during night after food which contains methycobalamine and ALA is good.Try one spoon aswagandha churna in empty stomach along with one glass of water. Continue for one month ,I think you will be alright.Thanks
