Endocrinologist Dr. Faraz Farishta's  Response
This is one of the commonest complication because of uncontrolled diabetes , diabetic neuropathy .you will have better reults with pregabalin (150 ) ,methylcobalamin(1500) ,ALPHA LIPOIC ACID(200) combination which are widely available in market .you can also give him oxcarbamazepine 150 mg twice daily along with it which will surely help .as he has developed one microvascular complication it is ideal if u get other microvascular complications likE Kidneys and eyes screened.
