My mom's been having this burning sensation in both her feet, and it's been getting worse, especially at night. She's diabetic and weighs 89 kg. Im really worried because she can't sleep with the discomfort. Could it be neuropathy or something else related to her diabetes? What kind of treatment should she consider, and what type of doctor would be best to consult for this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
