Dr,
Not diabetic . I think I took hba1c 1 1/2 years ago all normal
Not swollen and no color change
Only mild partial numbness still there of top right portion of big toe .. I can still feel but slight weird feeling on that area
Nothing other than that I do normal work and nothing bothers or affects day to day work

Dr Just to update i took HBA1C now for checking diabetes and it was 5 , nothing other than that . I think my big toe symptom may be slighlty better but cant tell but doesnt really affect anything or doesnt seem significant to me . I dont have any back pain or any other symptoms as such am absolutely able to do everything as normal . So i will ignore this as of now and move on .. If its gets worse or i see any significant changes i will defintely reach out . Hope my strategy is OK :)
