Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes.
I suggest to use medication such as Gabapentin to relieve the symptoms.
I also recommend to maintain the gycemic blood levels under control through medication.
You should follow up with your general physician about a specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
