Nerve damage (neuropathy) can cause feet to feel burning hot, even when they are cool to the touch.
Some diabetics also experience sharp, sudden pain that worsens at night.
⚠️ What You Should Do:
If you feel unexplained pain or burning in your feet, it may be a sign of nerve damage due to diabetes. Seek medical advice to prevent worsening symptoms.
3. Slow-Healing Sores or Wounds on Feet
If you notice that cuts, blisters, or sores on your feet take too long to heal, this could be a major red flag for diabetes.
🛑 Why Does This Happen?
High blood sugar levels weaken the immune system, making it harder for wounds to heal.
Poor circulation in diabetics reduces blood flow to the feet, leading to non-healing wounds or infections.
⚠️ What You Should Do:
Check your feet daily for cuts, blisters, or wounds, and if they take too long to heal, see a doctor immediately. Untreated foot wounds in diabetics can lead to severe infections and even amputation!
