Hi, You have diabetes and this is known to lead to a condition called diabetic neuropathy and this is the possible cause of your foot pain. In diabetics the nerves specially of the feet are affected, blood circulation is decreased, and high blood sugar can stiffen the joints of the toes.  Diabetes should be well controlled and care of the feet is vital.
