Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

Your symptoms are caused by endarteritis. Endarteritis is the inflammation of the inner lining of an artery. In your case it is caused by Diabetes mellitus.

You should keep your blood sugar level under control. To do that you should follow these guidelines:
1. Avoid carbohydrates and alcoholic drinks.
2. Quit smoking(if you do smoke).

To treat your condition you should Amitriptyline.

To confirm the diagnosis you need a doppler ultrasound.
Contact your diabetologist to discuss about the diagnosis and treatment.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
