How to get rid of less sensitivity in feet?

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Have you talked with your doctor about the foot sensitivity issue, alwaysoptimistic ?

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to Activity2004]

Yes,but there is no significant difference so far.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

What did the doctor say when you talked to them? Did you get any medication?

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to Activity2004]

He has suggested some physical exercises and has prescribed a medicine.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

What exercises and how many times a day for them along with the medication?

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to Activity2004]

Morning & evening walk and massage of feet.Also,a capsule namely Nurokind once a day.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

How long is each walk (10 minutes)?

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to Activity2004]

30 minute each.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

30 minutes is good. Did your doctor say to walk that amount twice a day?

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to Activity2004]

Yes!He told that walk is good for a diabetic person.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to alwaysoptimistic]

That’s good. I thought he would have you start slowly with the foot sensitivity issue.

my case is just the opposite, my feet are hypersensitive. my big toes are calloused but very sensitive, stepping on uneven ground feels painful not only to the skin but also to the bones, type 2, HbA1c 6-7% for the last 5 yr

[suryakaizen in reply to nyonyo]

Me too, alwaysoptimistic . I have been used to wearing slippers inside the home and other footwear when I go out. This started after I moved to Bangalore which was very, very cold 40 years ago. As a result, I find it difficult to walk on bare gronud and my feet hurt when I walk on uneven ground.

[nyonyo in reply to suryakaizen]

What is your A1c?

[suryakaizen in reply to nyonyo]

The last it was 7.9. Need to check next week again.

[sandybrown in reply to suryakaizen]

HI,

HbA1C is 90 day average therefore if you do A1c test other times it may not help you.

I do my test every 6 months.

[suryakaizen in reply to sandybrown]

I know sandybrown , I last did my test in March 2023. I do my test every 3 months.

My case also same. From knee to foot sensitivity is poor. Nerve medicines only daily one.

[alwaysoptimistic in reply to Mohannandigana1952]

Is there any improvement?Which nerve medicine do you take?

[sandybrown]

Cold floors!!, in UK few areas are cold in Winter, this helps to feel the cold in the feet. In summer out side drive area can be hot, this change in condition do help me to feel what is going on in my feet.
