peripheral neuropathy is the diagnosis for numb feet. Cause? Most likely type II diabeties. Even if you don't officially have it yet!

See an Endocronologist ASAP!!!! IF left to its own this can TOTALY DISABLE YOU!!!! These numb feet can quickly end up being sore feet for all day and night for the rest of your life.

There are agressive treatments that hopefully can fend off the onset of type II diabetes forever. The percurser to type II diabetes is to MUCH insulin in your blood as well as neuropathy. Only a good endocronologist can tell. Forget any GP they do not know enough at this time. And neuropathy, a disease most do not know about can be totally disabalitating. There is no cure for it. The only hope is prevention.

So tell everyone with sore or numb feet to go to their endocronologist or neurologist ASAP. IF your are one of the unlucky ones the sore feet can last a lifetime.
