Neurologist 's  Response
Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

I read carefully your question and would agree with your doctor that neuropathy seems to be the cause of your numb and cold toes.
From the other hand, the way you feel could be related to depression.
For this reason, I recommend consulting with a psychiatrist for a careful evaluation of your situation.
An antidepressant could help improve the way you feel, make you more optimistic. Besides antidepressants are a good treatment option for chronic pain and neuropathy pain.
Pregabaline could also be a good treatment option for neuropathy.
I would also advice performing HbA1C levels and make the proper changes to your anti-diabetic therapy.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
