Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think you should check your sugars. i feel they are too tightly controlled. when you walk, your sugars may be reducing. thereby causing weakness

i think you should heck fbs, ppbs, hba1c. and meet your doctor to adjust the dose of medicine accordingly.

creatinine should also be checked. things get worse as the medicines are not excreted well and the same medicine acts longer.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
