Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

Symptoms that you refer are related to diabetic neuropathy. Neuropathy is disease that affects peripheral nerves and causes numbness, weakness and pain.

Another probability is that you suffer from cerebral ischemia. Cerebral ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand.

To improve your health condition you should follow these guidelines:
1. Keep glucose level under control.
2. Keep glucose level under control.
3. Check INR levels.
4. Head MRI is necessary to rule out cerebral ischemia.

Contact your neurologist.

Take Care.
Dr. Behar.
