Tingling, burning or pain in the feet can occur with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, but other causes of neuropathy should also be considered. A single blood sugar reading of 160 mg/dL does not tell us how well your diabetes is controlled.
Next Steps
Please check HbA1c, fasting and post-meal blood glucose, along with kidney function, vitamin B12 and thyroid profile if appropriate. A clinical examination of both feet is important, including sensation, vibration, 10-g monofilament testing and foot pulses.
If neuropathic pain is confirmed, it can be treated effectively with appropriate medicines; the choice should be made after assessing your medical history and kidney function.
Health Tips
Please inspect your feet regularly for cuts, blisters, redness or ulcers, avoid walking barefoot and use comfortable footwear. If there is a wound, colour change, marked swelling, weakness, or rapidly worsening pain, seek medical evaluation promptly.

With a sugar level of 160 and tingling/pain in feet and legs, this is diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Blood sugar control is the most important treatment â keeping HbA1c below 7 slows nerve damage progression significantly. Supplements like B12, B1, and alpha lipoic acid help relieve symptoms.
Next Steps
Get HbA1c done to check average sugar control. Start Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) + alpha lipoic acid supplement (e.g. Nervup or Nervigesic). Consult me on Practo for a proper diabetes and neuropathy management plan.
