1. Tingling or “Pins and Needles”
High blood sugar can damage nerves, especially in the feet.
If you often feel tingling, buzzing, or light electrical sensations, it may be a sign of diabetic neuropathy.
2. Numbness
Losing feeling in your feet or toes is one of the most common early symptoms of nerve damage caused by elevated blood sugar.
3. Burning Sensation
A hot, burning feeling in the feet — especially at night — is a strong indicator of nerve stress related to diabetes.
