If high blood sugar levels damage the nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord, it is known as peripheral neuropathy. Painful is a common symptom of peripheral neuropathy.
According to the Mayo Clinic, pain during activities that shouldn’t be painful, such as pain in your feet when you put weights on them or when you’re under a blanket, can signal peripheral neuropathy.

Other warning signs include lack of coordination and falls, muscle weakness, feeling as if you are wearing gloves or socks, paralysis if motor nerves are affected.
The key to countering the harmful effects of high blood sugar levels is to make changes that lower your blood sugar levels to a healthy range.
Overhauling your diet can regulate high blood sugar levels and a low-carb diet has been shown to be very effective. Carbohydrates have the greatest effect in terms of increasing blood sugar levels and requiring insulin the most to be taken up or produced by the body.
“In general, the lower your carbohydrate intake, the more likely you are to lose weight and the lower sugar levels you may have,” explains Diabetes.co.uk.
