What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Feet And Hands?

Hello Doctor, I am a 66 year old male - height 5.8 weight 190 lbs Asian and I am Diabetic, but under control with medications. For the past several months, the blood circulation in my feet and hands is poor I think, due to which I get numbness & tingling sensation. I was in India on a vacation in 2015 and a Doctor prescribed me Nerv UP OD which I am taking one a day regularly. It has helped to some extent, but not very well as I expected. I think the condition I have is called Peripheral Neuropathy. Could you please advise me something better or give me a referral to a Doctor in zip code 60101 area. Thank you.

Hi,

First of all, you should control the glucose level in your blood as the uncontrolled blood glucose can worsen your case. Second, you should take vitamins B complex once per day after meals such as: Vitamin B1,Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, besides Vitamin B12 and folic acid. You can find one tablet contains all these vitamins. Moreover, you should take Benfotiamine 40 MG twice per day after meals.The routine check of your blood pressure,lipid profile, kidney function tests and eye examination every 6 months is crucial.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mustafa, Neurologist
