Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.

Numbness and tingling in hands and feet, is suggestive of neuropathy. Nerve conduction studies should be done to confirm the same.

In such a situation, antineuralgic medicines like pregabalin or duloxetine, along with methylcobalamin should be used.In addition, Benfotiamine, curcumin and alpha lipoic acid may be continued.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
