Can you describe the pain @MelissaAllenKepart burning, throbbing, aching, numbness? Neuropathy is common among diabetics, as diabetes team has said. Not enough of oxygenated blood flow gets to the feet, causing nerve pains. Thats cumulative damage from uncontrolled diabetes. Try soaking your feet in warm water, or using a foot spa with jets, to help get that blood flowing better. I have had had Neuropathy for years. There're medicines to help with that, but the side effects are horrific, also google natural remedies. Hope this helps, hugs Joyce
