They say that diabetic people are the ones very common who experience small fiber neuropathy in feet. It’s possibly one of few things that diabetics endure. I have a neighbor who at first did not realize that she has diabetes. She is at around forty years old and is used to doing a lot of things which might be considered routines. This friend of mine always goes out for business transactions at different places in town.
One time, when my neighbor was just about few steps away from her house’s gate and was about to go to work, she felt a sudden dizziness which made her guess that it was just a high blood pressure. Few days after that incident, my neighbor felt that her biggest toe was incapable of feeling anything. She tried to walk pointing her biggest toe, but she did not feel anything.
Few weeks after her observation to what was happening to her, my neighbor noticed that not only her biggest toe felt numb to any kind of feeling especially pain, but her whole foot. She then realized that both her right and left feet felt numb to pain when she spotted a small cut when she accidentally put her left foot to a pointed object. Her foot did bleed. That was the time she decided to go to a doctor and see what was happening to her.
My neighbor discovered that she has diabetes. And her doctor explained that most diabetics experience small fiber neuropathy in feet where numbness is really possible. Sadly, there is no known cure to that, but she is doing all she can to follow whatever her doctor tells her to at least ease any minor or major problem that goes with neuropathy, and her disease that is diabetes.
