Burning feet can be a symptom of peripheral neuropathy, which is common in people with diabetes. Here are some steps you can take to help reduce the burning sensation:

- Inspect Your Feet Regularly: Check for any sores, blisters, or injuries. If you notice any, apply a clean dressing with an antiseptic and contact your podiatrist or physician.
- Footwear: Ensure you wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes to avoid further irritation.
- Stay Off the Foot: Resting the affected foot can help reduce pain and prevent further damage.
- Consult a Specialist: High-risk patients, including those with abnormal sensation or circulation, should see a foot care specialist every three months.

For persistent or severe symptoms, it's important to seek medical advice.
