the gi disturbances may be due to the sideeffects of the medications u r taking for which u should consult a gastroenterologist who might tell u to go for a endoscopy...and the reason for the numbness of limbs is most probably due to diabetic neuropathy which occurs in patients with a long standing history of diabetes....is your blood glucose under control now?due to diabetes other problems like diabetic retinopathy cn also arise due to which u should always hv periodic checkups done by a ophthalmologist ...at present for to numbness of limbs u should consult a neurologist immediately
