Hi I'm sorry to hear about your health problems, it sounds like you have neuropathy, based on your description of numbed feet ,basically diabetes affects your nerves.
I don't think diabetes can be reversed but with lifestyle changes I.t.o diet and exercise and taking your medication regularly is key to prevent it from getting worse
Numbness is a worrying issue, it's best to consult your physician as soon as u can ,because numbed feet can indicate that your pancreas are failing to do its job ,you medication has to be re evaluated
