Welcome @cthrash, You might want to scan through the following discussions to learn what other members have shared:

Have you been diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy? Have you started any treatments?

Have you discussed your symptoms with your physician?
I would suggest seeing your provider prior to starting self treatments. Diagnostic imaging such as EMG, or MRI might be suggested by your physician. Is your glucose under control?
