I am asking for my mother she is 67 years old and diagnosed with diabetics last 3 months since then her weight is reduced, pain in legs from knee to toe can't sit down and stand up properly. She is taking metformin 1000 mg tablet and gabamax gold with pregabalin, methylcobalamin. Somewhere sugar levels are reduced from 250 to 150 by medicine but doctor is unable to tell that why she can't walk stretch and sit up down properly after having medicine 3 months of dosage sometimes we felt that she is not suffering from diabetics and the problem is something else. Kindly light up this issue waiting for your sumptuous response.

Inability to stand or walk is not because of diabetes. Kindly consult orthopaedic surgeon for knee and back or radiating pain below the knee. Have at least x-ray of knee joint ap and lateral view. And if necessary of back i.e. Lumbar spine ap and lateral. He can guide you for further treatment.
