Burning Feet - Neuropathy Message Board

Just diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in my feet - terrible burning, stinging, "ant biting" feeling. My sugar has been above normal for about a year but not diabetic. Dr. seems to think it could be sugar related. I'm searching for answers. Anyone here with this problem and what is it related to?

Thanks for your help!

There is many things that can cause neuropathy in your feet. Has your doctor asked you if you consume alcohol daily, as this is a very comon cause. Also over exposure to heavy metals can also contribute to it. Doctors have told me I was not diabetic but may have been glucose intollerant for a long period of time and this may have caused my nerve damage, just a couple of thoughts.
