Dear lybrate-user, Your father in law is suffering from Diabetic neuropathy which means that his nerve cells are affected by high sugar and it starts burning, tingling. The treatment is to control sugar very well, stop smoking, avoiding alcohol and taking appropriate treatment from your doctor. Good medicines are available to control these symptoms but may take 6 weeks to 4 months time Regards, Dr. sachdev.
