Hello,
Injction optineuron or injection VIT B 12 must be given for at least 5-7 injections.
As far tablet ZEFRETOL is concerned,it would be better to use GABAPANTINE or PREGABLIN and DULOXETINE.
Take proper amount of VIT D as supplement.
Above all,the prompt and meticulous control of blood sugar levels is the first and foremost important part of treatment.
Thanks
