I Am A Diabetic And Having Trouble In Walking

I am diabetic and having trouble walking. I feel like my legs may give out. My balance is also bad. I have been checked out with my doctor and told that my circulation in my legs is good. I have a strong pulse in my ankle. I cannot get up if I fall. I cannot stand for any length of time without pain. It goes away when I sit down.

Diabetologist 's  Response
Dear sir

As per analysis of your symptoms, it appears that your problem might be due to autonomic neuropathy associated with longstanding type 2 diabetes.

Secondly autonomic neuropathy is associated with peripheral neuropathy.

There will be variation in the blood pressure regulation due to autonomic dysfunction. It means the blood pressure in the lying and sitting position varies and there will be fall in the blood pressure on sitting position.

It is dangerous to walk along with out any attenders.

Control sugars appropriately with out incidences of hypoglycemias.

Thank
