I am glad you posted this question, though, because I did some research and found a lot about shiny feet and hands being a sign of diabetes. The more evidence I have to bring to my first neuro appointment that my PN could be caused by high blood sugar, the better.
The question about Shiny feet. I have very shiny feet, so much so that should I walk across the carpet shoeless my socks work off. I have very painful PN, not much they can do about it though!
