I am 63 years male. I have diabetes and is relatively in control. Fasting sugar 120 and after eating about 150. I am taking glimy m 0.5 mg tablet twice a day before lunch and dinner. I have gas and acid reflux type symptoms for some days now. I have not taken any medicines other than natural remedies. About 6 days before I had stiffness and discomfort in my left hip and leg. It is much better now. There is no stiffness now but still little discomfort on and off, please advise as to what tests I should do to understand my health. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. I have gone through the details mentioned. It is good to know that your glucose levels (fasting & after food) are in control. It would have been better if you had given the hba1c% too, as that gives a clearer picture of glucose control over previous 3 months or so. There is no mention of your weight, height, extent of daily exercise and dietary pattern. Please let me know whether you had any injury before the development of the stiffness & discomfort in the left leg and hip region? If pain & discomfort persists you may need an orthopedic opinion. Without that no investigation can be advised. As regards acidity & reflux issues, if the problem is persistent then certain medication to control the same may be needed. Plus some dietary changes. Thanks.
