Similar, but milder, big toe is sometimes numb but no longer suffer with pains. Its a touch of neuropathy as far as I am aware, also lower limbs at risk of this due to narrowing blood vessels, i.e. pad, peripheral arterial disease. Used to have quite sharp pains in my right toes but since getting blood sugars under control its gradually improved. Nerves get stressed and damaged by high sugar levels. People say the nerves can never recover, I disagree and so do some diabetic doctors in the u.s.a. With strict control of sugar levels they will repair to some degree but the process is very slow, 1-2 years to see any improvement.
Yes my big toe on the right foot goes numb ( sorry brain fog ) my bloods have been high I’m trying to get it under control I’m sort of getting it sorted
