It is mainly caused due to improper management of&nbsp;blood sugar and it&nbsp;can take over years to develop. Initially you may not feel any sensation or symptoms or pain, but over time you will start feeling the tingle and numbness of your feet. Eventually this may lead to pain and may often worsen at night. This kind of nerve damage cannot be reversed, but&nbsp;managing sugar levels&nbsp;can help.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/beatoapp.com\/\/lps\/inapp-beato-paid-coach-consult-web?id=2400330&#038;campaignid=2400330&#038;source=2400330&#038;utm_content=%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F1398\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1.png\" class=\" wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-768x225.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-420x123.png 420w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-840x246.png 840w, https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Blog-banner-1-150x44.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.n9f2h5lhcq7n\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_diabetic_nerve_pain_different_from_muscle_pain\"><\/span><span class=\"c2 c10\">How is diabetic nerve pain different from muscle pain?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c2 c0\">Both the pain types are your body\u2019s way of telling you something is wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c2 c0\">Muscle pain is more of a protective form of pain caused by something specific like an injury or inflammation. The injured muscle nerve sends signals to the brain that the injury has occurred and that your activity is causing it harm. If you limit your activity, this can get better over time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c2 c0\">Nerve pain is a more non-protective form of pain and usually occurs when the nerves get damaged by diseases such as diabetes. This kind of pain is a sign that the nerves in your feet or hands have been damaged. This type of pain cannot be improved by limiting or alternating your activities, but the pain can be managed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.6hb9ufcdswsh\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_4_Types_of_Diabetic_Neuropathy_Diabetic_Nerve_Pain\"><\/span><span class=\"c2 c10\">The 4 Types of Diabetic Neuropathy (Diabetic Nerve Pain)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peripheral_Neuropathy\"><\/span><span class=\"c4\">Peripheral Neuropathy<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c0\">This type usually affects the hands and feet.
