It appears you are asking about diabetic neuropathy, which causes numbness and tingling of the feet. It is caused by damage to the small nerves supplying the extremities. Unfortunately, once the damage occurs, there is no cure. There are some treatments for the pain that accompanies the condition, and it can be slowed by tightly controlling the blood glucose, but this does not prevent or reverse it.
