HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if your diabetic status in under well control then no need to worry about this, the brownish spots you stated here may not be due to diabetes, this is very common condition seen in geriatric age group and this could be due to some changes in reticular system of blood, may be some deficiency in certain factors, this is nothing to worry for sure this not the neurological problem you can take some ""vitamin c"" supplement to overcome this problem, I hope this could be helpful to you, take care and have nice day.
