Hi I am new to this forum,

I have type 2 diabetes and have a problem with my feet and lower legs. I have a loss of sensation but it does not amount to numbness and I have no pain. My feet just feel like planks of wood. Does anyone else have this problem and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms
 
Hi suzieR, welcome to the forum 🙂 Have you had diabetes long, and are you on any medication? Have you spoken to a doctor or podiatrist about the problem and had a full foot check lately (pulses, sensation, injury etc.)?

Hi and welcome to the forum Suzie.
 
Hi Suzie. Welcome 🙂

It sounds rather alarming and you should definitely see your doctor about it.
