What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Toes And Foot?

I think I have Peripheral Neuropathy. Just recently I ve been having numbness and tingling in my toes on my right foot. A couple of years ago my doctor said my tests put me in the pre-diabetic range. However at my annual exam last year he said those results had improved and I was not in that range. I am hypertensive and taking meds that do a good job of keeping that in control. The only things things that I see on the site to alleviate this are cut down on alchohol and more exercise. In cutting down on alchohol would I have stop having a glass of wine with dinner?

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to peripheral neuropathy. In case of pain or numbness, you can use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.

You have to maintain under control the blood sugar level and blood pressure level. I recommend you to avoid alcohol, even the glass of wine at the dinner.

If the symptoms continue I recommend you to see a neurologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
