Hi,



Your pain is due to diabetic neuropathy. So, you will mostly improve with Pregabalin or Gabapentin. Vitamin B12 supplements are also beneficial infection neuropathic pain.
Physiotherapy is also helping in Pain relief. Above all, strict diabetes control is mandatory. So discuss with your doctor about these drugs and start them.
