1.Symptoms
Your feet or fingers may start to tingle or burn, like «pins and needles.» The lightest touch, perhaps from sheets on your bed, might hurt. In time, your muscles can become weak, especially around your ankles. You could find it harder to balance or painful to walk.
2.Get Checked Regularly
When you have diabetes, it’s important to see your doctor to try to catch DPN early. How often? Every year if you have type 2. For type 1, you should get tested yearly, starting either after puberty or after 5 years if you were diagnosed when you were older.
