This is sign of neuropathy.  Get those blood sugars down.  The burning in the legs and feet are not worth not doing it.  PLEASE make a decision to take care of your body!  When the pain starts it goes fast all over!!!!!  I care about you!

You need to see a doctor to assess what complications you are experiencing.

But the bottom line is you need to get your blood sugar under control or this is only the beginning. I suggest you join a website that has more support than this one from lots of type 1 diabetics who are controlling their blood sugar (or having trouble doing so). Please send me a private message for the name of a website as WebMD doesnt allow posting them. Did you have a particular question about how to control your blood sugar?
