Hello,

The feeling of vibration on right lower leg with history of diabetes mellitus indicates underlying peripheral neuropathy from micro vascular insufficiency, which can happen with controlled diabetes as well. Needs a precise neurologic work up with your primary care physician and further assistance with pregabalin, methylcobalamine and supportive care give best results. Strict diabetes control with dietary care and medications, avoidance of smoking if doing are very important.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
