Burning sensation in Foot
My dad is under diabetic medication for a year now. He has burning sensation in his foot, which was told as one of the effects due to biabetic by the doctor whom we went for consultation. It's been a year, but still he has the same problem. Is there any other possibilities apart from diabetics for this problem? If yes what it could be?
Hi, a burning sensation in the foot is usually a complication of diabetes. It can be managed with tablets and optimisation of glucose levels.
