Brief Answer:
Need to evaluate for other contributing factors.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

In such case I may suggest following evaluation-
- Detailed neurological examination.
- Complete blood count.
- Fasting and post-prandial blood sugar level, HbA1c.
- Lipid Profile.
- Renal Function Test.
- Liver Function Test.
- Vitamin B12 level.
- Vitamin D3 level.
- Urine examination.

Depending upon detailed neurological examination and above test results there may be need for neurophysician opinion and Nerve conduction studies.

Till then continue current medications.
Along with those medicines I may suggest Tablet Containing Duloxitin (will need written prescription from doctor).

Discuss all this with your treating diabetologist.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,
Dr. Abhay Mali.
