I've always controlled my diabetes with diet and meds, now it's up and down like a roller coaster and I'm getting pain at the tips of my toes. I'm afraid nueropothy has started. But I'm not sure.

Members responded to someone worried about new toe pain and potential neuropathy, with the overwhelming consensus being to see a doctor (especially an endocrinologist) for proper diagnosis and to prioritize keeping blood sugar levels stable as the most effective way to prevent or slow nerve damage. Several members shared their own experiences with neuropathy symptoms, including tingling, burning, and pain, while others offered suggestions like trying high-strength curcumin with black pepper, magnesium chelate supplements, or medications like Lyrica for pain management if needed. A recurring theme was that catching neuropathy early through medical evaluation and maintaining tight blood sugar control through diet and medication can make a significant difference in outcomes.

Try high-strength curcumin with black pepper. If the toes become painful, you may need a short course of Lyrica.

Pain in my feet was my first indicator that I was diabetic. I started a low carb, high fat, moderate protein diet and the pain went away immediately. I also supplemented with magnesium chelate.

It sounds like neuropathy. Go to your endocrinologist to be sure.
