Madam, I am a senior citizen, 69 years old. My weight is 94 Kgs and I suffer from diabetes and am on medicine (Istamet). For last two years or so, I have a tingling sensation at the base of toes of both my feet. As a result, at times, I can not put my soles firmly on the ground resulting in loss of grip. Then I can not walk fast of limp slightly for some time. Things become better after I walk for some time. Please suggest what should I do for redressal.

Ans: This looks like you have Peripheral neuropathy, a consequence of badly regulated blood sugar. Kindly address this issue with your treating Physician for a smooth regulation of blood sugar. Also please check your weight and manage to maintain your weight closer to ideal weight. Have balanced nutrition and increase your phtsical activity

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.

Hello Sir, I am 47 yr. old diabetic for last 6 years. I walk for 45 minutes and do exercise 50 - 60 minutes in the morning everyday. My fasting sugar 135 and pp is 174 last week. I took a medicine Glucoril M1 in morning only but my health is degraded gradually. I have also foot drop problem in my right leg from last year and numbness from the lower of right leg Knees. I had taken medicines for foot drop problem but I have no any benefit. Can you prescribe me some medicines for my foot drop problem and numbness? Thank You

Ans: There is no universal medicine for a foot drop. If the foot drop is on one side it is usually due to a damage to a nerve. There are several other causes also. The cause needs to be found out. You need to be evaluated by a neurologist
