How Can Numbness In The Feet While Suffering From Diabetes Be Treated?
I am almost 60 and I have had diabetes for 46 years. My feet become numb after I have been sitting for a while. When I get up off my chair, it is very awkward because I am wobbly and need time for my circulation to liven up my feet. What can I do about this?

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
I have gone through your question. Numbness in feet and legs when sitting in chair for long time is sometimes common due to delay in conduction nerve which requires no medications,do not sit bending knee or with crossed legs for long time. Also if these symptoms persists all the time irrespective of posture, kindly get checked for Neuropathy and treated.
Thank you for contacting us. Hope this clarifies your concerns.
Take care
