I have type 2 diabetes

Brief Answer:
Vitamin B12 supplementation needed
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The numbness of your feet seems consistent with peripheral neuropathy which can be a sequel of diabetes. Deficiency of Vitamin B12 could also give rise to such a presentation. Taking methylcobalamine (Vitamin B12) 1500 mcg supplement per day for at least a couple of weeks should help in improving the situation.
Regarding the swelling, irrespective of whether you have pulled a muscle, you need to be examined clinically and need to see a doctor for the same. Hot compress should provide relief.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
