I am 55 years old. I am diabetic since last 26 years. Taking insulin [14 pts. Lantus & 8 pts. Novorapid in morning at 9.30 am and 6 pts novorapid in evening at 8 pm] and galvusmet 50+500 (1bd) all prior to meal. In night at around 3 am, I feel severe urge for sweets which I take because otherwise i'll not be able to sleep again. This causes high fasting sugar (around 160). I want to get rid of this sudden urge for sweets at night. Also, I feel burning & pricking sensation in both my foot soles. Kindly suggest proper medicines, if any.
