Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The now developed weakness in the limbs is likely to be due to diabetic neuropathy. The nerve weakness due to an uncontrolled diabetes can cause such symptoms. A physical examination and investigations will help in diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
