Aches and Pains You Should Never Ignore

Burning Sensation In Legs Or Feet

Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are both on the rise, affecting millions of Americans. Of those millions, approximately one-quarter has not yet been diagnosed. If you wait too long to address a burning sensation in your legs or feet, you could experience significant damage to your heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. If you seek medical assistance early, however, you will reduce your risk of vision loss, strokes, and diabetic neuropathy.

Consistently high blood glucose levels can lead to damaged nerve fibers, which leads to pain, tingling, and even numbness.
