Welcome to NeuroTalk:

This is our neuropathy forum:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum20.html

First thoughts I have are :

1) do you know your B12 level? 400pg/ml is the new low. If you are below that, I'd start with methylcobalamin on an empty stomach. If you use acid blocking drugs for GERD, you would be losing B12. These drugs also block calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, B12 and folate from the diet.

2) have you been using antibiotics recently? Fluoroquinolones and metronidazole/Tindamax are known causers of nerve damage.

Diabetics lose magnesium thru the urine. So getting a good chelated form (not oxide) may help.
