Hello, Thanks for the query. One of the most common and early seen complication of diabetes is peripheral neuropathy, with symptoms that you have described. Pragabalin is one of the better treatments to control pain. However, best option is achieving a strict blood glucose control with FBG < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.5%. Since there is absolutely no information on the following : FBG, PP glucose, HbA1c%, weight, height, dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, lipid profile and BP readings no further comments can be made. It is necessary to know all the relevant facts before any comment or suggestion can be made. Thanks
