Hi This numbness can be due to peripheral neuropathy especially in diabetic patients. Especially for long term diabetic patients. Methylcobalamine supplements will help to some extent to reduce the sensation. If not reduced kindly consult your treating doctor for adding gabapentin or pregablin. All the best. Take care
