Hello, thanks for the query. The information given is very less. There's no mention about what are symptoms, no details on blood glucose levels & HbAc1% and present treatment. However, to control neuropathic pain strict blood glucose control is very essential. Plus either Gabapentin or Pragabalin needs to be taken. Plus Methylcobalamine, folic acid & Lipoleic acid combination like Mego - XL once a day for about a month should be taken. This will help in pain relief. Thanks
