Hello Ritu,
Diabetes being a immunocompromised state ,the patients tend to be at a higher risk of infections ,and herpes is one of them .
The patient needs to get a FBS and a PPBS ,along with a HbA1c levels done to adjust the medications.
For the Neuropathic pain caused due to herpes ,Pregabalin or gabapentin along with a local capsaicin ointment is best ,it tends to remain for a few weeks before it could subside .
