Hi @A DiabetesTeam Member,
It sounds like Diabetes peripheral neuropathy. But you need to talk with your doctor. A foot doctor, podiatrist, would be better.

Increased blood circulation to your feet can help.
There are medications like Lyrica that can help.
My Bride takes gabapentin painkiller 2x a day.
She also uses Voltaren gel.
She says the lidocaine patches help deaden the pain.

My Mom swore by Salonpas pads.

Good luck.
