Diabetic neuropathy can cause nerve damage which serves as a common sign of diabetes. People with diabetes first experience tingling sensations followed by burning or numbness in their feet, and hands. Nerve symptoms tend to develop slowly, before worsening during nighttime hours. The small blood vessels that provide nerve supply, become damaged because of high blood sugar levels. You might experience sensory disturbances that resemble pins and needles sensation, or a feeling similar to losing sensation in your body. These symptoms indicate nerve damage from diabetes, so seek medical attention right away.
