Question by Pugazhenthi on May 13, 2023Hindi

Health

I am 65 years old. Have diabetes since 15Plus years. Now, I face the problem of foot irritation and numbness. Sugar level is fro 190 to 250. I need your advise on foot irritation and numbness.

Ans: You have likely developed diabetic neuropathy. You will need to control your sugars much better. In addition please check for any thyroid problems, vitamin deficiencies and rule out other conditions that can also cause neuropathy. Have your eyes checked as well. Check your urine for protein leakage as these conditions also go hand in hand with diabetic neuropathy. Please consult a physician either in person or online for further advice and appropriate treatment.
