Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

According to syntoms further investigation needed in form of serum TSH estimation to rule out thyroid problem. Vitamin B12 deficiency and diabetic neuropathy also should be ruled out by serum B12 estimation and random blood sugar estimation. If no specific cause found than NCV study can be done for further work up. I suggest you to consult physician or neurologist for examination.

Hope I have answered your question.
