Brief Answer:
Use antidepressants

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think that you may try to keep diabetes under control to stop progression.
Tricyclic antidepressants such amitriptyline and nortriptyline may help with pain.
They will also help you with sleep.

Hope I have answered the question.
