hi sir,
it's better to control your blood sugar levels because increase blood sugar levels causes this type of problems like diabetic neuropathy. lidocaine is one of the best to control the pain but taking correct nutrients and vitamins could reduce this problem so keeping blood Sugars under control will be the best remedy for this thank you.
