Dear sir
Welcome to healthcare magic
After reviewing your case completly I can definately say that your complaints of muscle pain and joint pain is happening due to your raised blood sugars..
It happens in all diabetes patients, but once if you control your sugars properly then automatically all your symptoms will come down...
But can supplement with a course of vitamin b12 and vitamin b6 with folic acid for month so that the rate of neuropathy initiation will decrease but you need to consult your doctor for known allergies and contraindications
Hope information is helpful
