Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Usually when diabetes is present for a long time (number of years), it does lead to certain long term complications like peripheral neuropathy. This happens even with fairly good glucose control. If control is not very good then symptoms tend to increase, which include numbness, tingling and even pain. The glucose levels mentioned (FBG 120 mg & PP 249 mg) are not showing good control. Good control means FBG < 100 mg & PP 150 to 170 mg and HbA1c% <6.8. It is very essential to achieve a strict glucose control to reduce neuropathy symptoms. Thanks.
