Hi,

First of all, you should take your treatment for diabetes and eat healthy diet in order to control the blood glucose. Second, Vitamins B complex are essential for the nervous system and vitamin B6 can help you with your sleep problem, so you should take vitamin B complex once per day after meal,besides Benfotiamine 40 mg twice per day after meals.Finally, the routine check up of blood pressure, kidney function test every 6 months, eye examination every 6 months and the routine measurement of blood glucose is essential.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mustafa, Neurologist
