Frequent urination (polyuria) + symptoms of peripheral neuropathy (numbness, discomformt in limbs) indicate u may got diabetes. U need an evaluation for diabetes as early as possible.
This includes a fasting and postprandial (preferably post lunch for indians) blood sugar and HbA1c.
Urine sugar is of no reliability.
If u r proven to have diabetes, U may need further tests to detect its complications in u like retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. Use proper footwear.
U can take gabapentin, pregabalin or amitryptilline etc for ur discomfort in limbs as per ur consultant's advice
