Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I see the situation you are in as peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes and also impaired kidney function. You should talk to your endocrinologist to add you may be Gabapentin for peripheral neuropathy and also adjust insulin dosage. Also you are taking too much anxiolytics so should consult your neurologist.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
