i am a diabetic patient my left is having numbness almost daily which doctor should i see
neurologist
Consult Neurologist
When diabetes is poorly controlled your skin nerve endings get damaged in the feet . This causes sensation of pins and needles in the feet. There is also reduced sensation. This is called peripheral neuropathy. Due to numbness of the toes you can injure your toes but don’t know about it. Due to poorly controlled diabetes your small blood vessels in your feet also get narrowed. This causes poor circulation in the feet and that causes delay in healing. All these factors mean that when your foot skin gets damaged you don’t know about it and it doesn’t heel quickly. So you develop ulcers on your feet which don’t heal
it's completely treatable after taking some medicine don't you worry detailed history required kindly book appointment with me
Could be diabetic Neuropathy, though unusually in one foot. Please consult a Neurologist...
