We all get leg pain now and then\u2014maybe after a long day or a tough workout. It\u2019s easy to shrug it off as just being tired. But if you have diabetes<\/a>, or even if you don\u2019t, that leg pain could be telling you something more.<\/p>\n

For those with diabetes, leg pain might be linked to the condition, and if you don\u2019t have diabetes, it could be an early sign. Knowing the symptoms can help you figure out if it\u2019s time to get checked out. Let\u2019s take a look at what to watch for.<\/p>\n

1. Numbness and Tingling<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Have you ever felt that odd tingling sensation, like when your foot “falls asleep”? For someone with diabetes, this can become a frequent occurrence in the legs, often accompanied by numbness.<\/p>\n

This happens because high blood sugar levels can damage your nerves, leading to a condition known as diabetic neuropathy<\/a>. If you notice these sensations sticking around, it\u2019s worth paying attention to as they are common symptoms of diabetes on legs.<\/p>\n

When you enroll with our Diabetes Prime Program<\/a>, fitness and pain management are one of the focus areas. During your group therapy session, they can help you incorporate specific exercises that improve circulation and nerve health, which may reduce these sensations over time. You can also avail yourself of one-on-one consultations with them at a nominal price.<\/p>\n
