Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It appears to be peripheral neuropathy.
2. Require treatment with alpha lipoic acid and vit B12.
3. Control of diabetes necessary yo prevent further deterioration. Also special footwear to protect feet is necessary. Renal functions needs to be improved. Control urea levels within normal range.
Hope it helps.
