Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

I can certainly understand your concern..

I have worked through your attached query in detail.

Disturbances in blood circulation particularly in diabetics require early attention through appropriate tests.

Considering your current and past symptoms/health it's advisable to take up Arterial Doppler ultrasound of RUE. Further management whether medical or surgical intervention shall be decided based on test results.

Blood sugars, cholesterol, and pressure levels should be strictly maintained.

Impending gangrenous (color and texture ) changes of extremities require early surgical intervention to save the digits/ limb.

Please review with reports to determine further course of action.
