Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Foot pain is common in diabetes type 2. It can be due to peripheral arterial disease or perpheral neuropathy.
I would suggest you to follow these home remedies:
- Wear comfortable closed-toed foot wear at all times. Don't walk barefoot even at home.
- Wash your feet with warm water and dry them up with towel.
- Check your feet regularly for sores and trim your toe nails.
- Stop smoking if you do.
- Good glycemic control. Healthy diet helps.
- Exercise for 30 minutes daily.
- Use analgesics such as tab. ibuprofen if sever pain.
- Take vitamin B multivitamin capsules such as Becosules or Nurokind plus to improve nerve health.
- Apply capsidol cream to your foot for pain relief.
In case your symptoms worsens or persists, I would suggest you to meet your treating doctor for a detailed examination and treatment.
I hope this answered your query.
