Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. In patients with diabetes peripheral neuropathy does develop. But mostly symptoms are quite manageable. However, if diabetes is not well controlled, then the severity can be bad. In your case, there is no mention of current glucose levels and hba1c% as well as lipid profile, bp. Plus since how long is diabetes present. These things usually decide how the severity remains. If motor function is affecting means it could quite sever...more

Leg Pain If you have leg pain then you have to rule out the causes for having leg pain. First of all check your weight and your haemoglobin levels, as Anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having leg pain though there are no issues with the knee joint or back pain. If not if the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the most common long term complication of long standing diabetes. It is seen even when blood glucose may be well controlled. However, in case glucose levels are not in good control then symptoms are seen much early. When one is having very good glucose control Fasting should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 7. I have no idea how good is the glucose control achieved by you as there is no mention of actual blood levels as wel...more

Dear lybrate-user,
nervigen np contains pregabalin, nortriptyline and methylcobalamin. This combination is usually given for diabetic neuropathy. From what you describe your pain started after you lifted a heavy weight. If the pain is in the shoulder region it may be a tear in the ligament. Nervigen np can be taken along with metformin and it will not interfere with the action of metformin. You may feel somewhat sleepy when you are on this medicine

Hello, Thanks for the query. To control neuropathic pain it is essential to achieve a strict glucose control first. Fasting glucose < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg, HbA1c % < 6.8. There are drugs along with the injectors that are being taken like Pragabalin Another important aspect is your excess weigh, with a BMI of 29.53 kvs/ Sq meter you are close to being grade 1 obese. That needs to be reduced. Your ideal body weight needs to be around 60 KGS. So please look at that aspect. Thanks.
