Ans: Hello Siva,
Have you consulted a good nutritionist and if yes, are you following it properly? What we eat makes a huge difference in diabetes, to heal wound and to reduce numbness in legs.
Are you doing some form of yoga? Some breathing exercises? Are you doing at least 30-45 minutes walks regularly?
All these above are very important for you so please let me know.
Take care
