Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Burning sensation in leg is due to peripheral neuropathy.
2. Oral treatment with Vit B12 and alpha-lipoic acid is very helpful and needs to be taken regularly.
3. Control of blood sugar within normal range is essential. It will delay further development of peripheral neuropathy.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
