HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Diabetes is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy. It can also affect other nerves in different ways as well.
If control is not as good as it should be then the nerve damage can worsen.
It may be possible to have nerve symptoms from 2 conditions (diabetes and ms) but it is not common..
If you suspect MS is present, you would need to see a neurologist for screening.
I hope this helps
