Is Diabetic Neuropathy Affecting One or Both of Your Feet?

March 03, 2025•2 min read

If you've been diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy, you may be wondering 🤔 


“Does Neuropathy Affect One Or Both Of My Feet?” 


The answer is simple…


…diabetic neuropathy can manifest differently for each person.


In some cases, diabetic neuropathy may start in one foot and then spread to the other over time. 


This is because the nerve damage associated with this condition is often progressive, meaning it can worsen if left untreated.


However, it's also possible for diabetic neuropathy to affect both feet at the same time. 


This is more likely to occur in people who have had POORLY MANAGED blood sugar levels for an extended period, allowing the nerve damage to develop more quickly and extensively.


Regardless of whether your diabetic neuropathy affects one or both feet, it's essential to take action to manage your symptoms and slow the progression of the condition. 


This would include…


…monitoring and controlling your blood sugar levels


…eating healthy


…exercising 


…and scheduling a 29 Point Sensory Exam™
