first you have not mentioned about your recent blood sugar levels. all your symptoms are related to diabetic neuropathy. if i were your consultant i would recommend pregabalin and for your pain Gabapentin and sodium valproate should also be considered for diabetic neuropathy pain management though there are variety of medications for it .you must have to take this drug along with your diabetic medications to overcome from this problem as this drug has to be got with the prescription of a doctor .strict maintenance of your blood sugar levels along with drugs may solve your problem hope i have answered your question
