Being Type 2 Diabetic Why Do I Suffer Pain In Legs And Foot?

I am a diabetic type 2 and have pain in sole of my foot and sometimes up my legs. I ALSO have muscle wastage in my thighs. However recently i am finding it hard to sleep as the pain and sensation in my feet/toes/legs is worse when i lie down at night and try to sleep. Any suggestions as to how to minimise this please?

I understand your symptoms ,but you are uncontrolled diabetic patient. First, fasting and random blood sugar should be done. Vitamin B12 injection once every 3 days. control blood sugar by medication or insulin. This is neuritis of diabetes and should be treated early.
