I think you're mixing up neuropathy with neuralgia.
diabetic neuropathy is actually not painful - people will go on with an ulcer on their foot for weeks and not know it. it gets to be pretty bad actually. the first sign of neuropathy is that you will have numbness or tingling.
neuralgia is painful. quite painful. people with trigeminal neuralgia come in complaining of quick lightning flashes of pain on their face.
