I started out 2 weeks ago with tingling in the bottoms of my feet. That went away after about 3 days but now I feel as though I have sand in my shoes when I walk. this sensation is felt in the area of the balls of the feet and the bottom of my toes. Does anyone know what this could be? I just had blood work done and my sugar count is excellent. I had thought it might be diabetes but the Doctor said no.
Feet problems that are connected to diabetes happen only after years of high blood sugars, it is not an early symptom. There are many other things that could cause those problems. I would press your doctor to give you some answers if it continues and if not to refer you to a specialist so you can determine what's causing it.
Hello. One natural remedy which can help for sure, it worked in my case, is soaking your feet for 30 mins every night before going to bed in a 4-5 litres of warm-hot water with a large spoon of mustard seed powder put in the water. The mustard seed powder stimulates the blood circulationCirculation of blood through the heart Circulation of lymph Diabetic blood circulation in foot Vertebrobasilar circulatory disorders in your whole body and on th elong run ( 30-45 days ), it takes care of the tingling in your feet as well as some of the back problems. all the best

Sounds like neuropathy. I've heard sand and socks and all sorts of sensations due to nerveNerve biopsy Nerve conduction velocity damage. Sometimes it is due to high blood sugar, but it can also be a combination of high blood sugar and something else that is contributing to nerved damage (toxins, shingles, statin drugs, etc. etc. etc)
It is becoming known that certain special forms of B vitamins have a lot to do with repairing nerveNerve biopsy Nerve conduction velocity damage. Some people have tried large amounts of ordinary B1, B12 or B complex vitamins and they find that it does not help them. Ordinary B vitamins are water-soluble and they wash out of the body long before they get to the required levels needed in your blood stream sot that it can begin repairing nerveNerve biopsy Nerve conduction velocity damage. You need to find the type of B1 that is fat soluable.
