Diabetic neuropathy and reddish wound
My mother is 49 and she has diabetes for 15 years. Recently, about a month back she started feeling burning sensation in legs. Local doctor said it is diabetic neuropathy. The doctor said that the cure comes only when blood sugar level falls within range. She has 120 before meal and 200 after. Reddish spots started to appear in her legs. Now it is everywhere below her knee till the feet. Burning sensation has become worse. I am very worried. What could be done to make her feel better ?? Pls help

Burning pain in feet is very typical of diabetic neuropathy. Unfortunately it is not a curable condition but pain can be controlled with treatment. Care should be taken to avoid injuries to feet
Rash you are describing doesn’t appear to be neuropathy related. Suggest a dermatologist
