I am sorry to hear about your problem. you are suffering from intermittent claudication secondarily to the uncontrolled diabetes. All what you need to do is go for the complete control pf diabetes for which you need advice from diabetologist and the dietician. you should also get a ultrasound doppler of both lower limbs including arterial and venous system to rule out any deep cein thrombosis.
