Mr. Lybrate-user, pain in the legs, and back can be due to inactivity, stiffness or she may have joint related problems. First thing is her diabetes should be in good control, meaning fasting sugar around 100 mg, pp 150 to 160 mg and hba1c% <7. She should get her uric acid levels checked, as high uric acid level can lead to joint pains. It is better if she does regular exercises to strngthen the muscle and ligaments. Bending and stretching exercises can be helpful. Also check her b12 and vitamin d levels. Occasional pain killers may be used.
