General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Due to diabetes your father-in-law is suffering from peripheral neuropathy. It's progression is gradual. you can slow down it by taking good care. that is proper control of sugar, maintain hygiene of foot, wear shoes, avoid injuries,etc. but you can not reverse it. multi-vitamin supplements must be given. Sorry but there is no specific treatment.
