Coldness in both legs and pain in the soles in a diabetic patient is most commonly due to Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy â nerve damage caused by long-standing high blood sugar. The most important first step is ensuring blood sugar levels are well-controlled, as poor control is the main driver of progression. A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) can confirm neuropathy and assess its severity.
Next Steps
Get fasting and post-meal blood sugar, HbA1c, and a peripheral Doppler ultrasound (to rule out poor blood flow) done. Consult a physician for medication and foot care advice. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

He seems to have developed peripheral neuropathy.
Firstly blood sugar levels need to be controlled very well.
He can take tab neurobion forte one daily for 4 to 6 weeks.
Tab pregabalin 75mg one morning and one evening for 15 days.
