Sir, I am aged 63 years and suffering from diabetis since 5 years and in the beginning I was taking glizid m for the first 2 years and then shifted to the combination of metformin 500 with glimpride 2 mg for the next two years. Due to high blood sugar levels, I was admitted in the hospital at hyderabad and I was asked to shift to huminsulin 30/70 morning with 26 points and during night with 22 points. Now my sugar levels are under control, but my legs are getting sometimes pain and sometimes senselessness. Doctor has advised me to control the sugar levels and advised me to use pregabalin one capsule daily for controlling the leg pains. But the leg pains are continuing and I am not getting relief. Please advise me proper medicines to get relief of leg pain and senselessness. With regards

Hi thanks for your query. Please get your lower back evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon and if required get requisite tests to rule out any compression in spine, otherwise your general physician is the best man to manage it. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & regards Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena

This might result due to insulin inj or might be due to tablets. Kindly continue the same and at the same time visit fitness centres and do some workouts. This will help to overwhelm your leg pain.
