🔍 Why Feet Are the Canary in the Coal Mine
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) damages nerves and blood vessels over time—a condition called:
Diabetic Neuropathy (nerve damage)
and
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) (poor circulation)
But this damage doesn’t happen overnight.
It starts subtly—often years before diagnosis.
And because feet are farthest from the heart and brain, they show signs first.
Ignoring these symptoms?
That’s how people lose toes.
Or worse.
✅ The good news?
Early detection = reversible damage.
🚩 12 Foot Symptoms That May Signal High Blood Sugar
1. Tingling or “Pins and Needles”
Feels like static, buzzing, or ants crawling
Often starts at night
Caused by early nerve irritation from high glucose
🧠 Think: “My feet are waking up… but not in a good way.”
2. Numbness
Can’t feel socks, sandal straps, or hot water
Like wearing invisible gloves on your feet
A major red flag: you won’t notice injuries
⚠️ This is one of the most dangerous early signs.
3. Burning Sensation
Deep, fiery pain—especially at bedtime
Worse when lying down
Classic sign of small fiber neuropathy
💡 Tip: Not just “tired feet.” Real burning = medical alert.
