The condition your mother has is called peripheral neuropathy. Medications can be taken to help with the pain, burning, numbness, or tingling. It's essential that she controls her blood glucose and get her A1c less than 7. Also, she needs to check her feet every night; it's common for people with peripheral neuropathy to step on things and not know it or get sores that they don't know about that get infected. Maybe this website can answer any questions for you and help you be sure that the doctors are providing the best care possible for your mother. http://www.diabetes.org/type-1-diabetes/peripheral-neuropathy.jsp Good luck!
