Pain in your feet can sometimes be a sign of diabetes.

However not all pain in a persons feet is a sign of diabetes but it's a good idea to see a doctor and let them know that you're experiencing pain in your feet.

That's especially true if the pain in your feet is not going away or the pain in your feet returns constantly or gets worse.

High blood sugar can cause neuropathy in your feet which can be a sign of diabetes.

The high blood sugar or neuropathy damages the nerves in your feet that send signals from your hands and feet.

The neuropathy can cause numbness or tingling in your fingers, feet and toes.

Pain in your feet can also be caused by standing too long, wearing the wrong size shoes, walking on your feet too long or other injury.
