Hi,
Many a times diabetic patient has burning sensation in legs hands it's known as diabetic neuropathy, many drugs like analgesic may be used to treat condition,
Insulin therapy and strict control of diabetes with diet and exercise will help,
Many studies have shown that insulin started earlier helps in avoiding damage to vital organs,
Please take a opinion from diabetologist.
