I too sympathize with her problem. As you know, the problem is related to
diabetes and it is called diabetic neuropathy. Taking vitamin B complex is
beneficial in this condition. The result is not very quick, it takes time but
gradually the problem is mostly reduced. She should eat more of green
vegetables, egg yolk, fruits, and food that contain vitamin B1, B6, B12. She
should wear leather shoes or sandals instead of synthetic one. She should also
control her blood sugar level.
