Several years ago I was diagnosed with poli neuropathy. This has gotten gradually more painfu as the years have gone by. Just recently I licked my lips and felt like I was licking pure salt, very srong. My nose started running and that was really salty too. Is this a sympton of diabets?

Nether "salty lips" nor salty nose secretion are sign of diabetes. Diabetes can be diagnosed only by measuring the glucose level in the blood.
