Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus has led to diabetic neuropathy. It has also led to early stages of nephropathy.
2. Control of blood sugar within normal range is essential to prevent further damage. For neuropathy additionally alpha lipoic acid with vit B12 will be helpful.
3. For mild anemia, vit B12 and iron supplements will be helpful. Add more protein to diet.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
