Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

Sir, Neuropathy is one of the complication in long standing diabetes. The drugs like pregabilin and methylcobalamin helps effectively in such condition. The other recommendations are Caring for your feet which includes:

Checking and caring for your feet every day
Getting a foot exam each time you see your treating doctor
Wearing the right kind of socks and shoes

Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Wishing you good health Thank you.
