What Causes Feet/toes Numbness, Hair Loss, Knee Pain For Diabetic Type II?
I am a type II diabetic. generally my glucose levels range from 97-112. Occasionally it might spike to 130-155. These are infrequent. My last A1C was 6.2 about 6 mo. ago. Yet I have some numbness in my feet and toes. I am also on HCTZ and lisinopril. My hair is falling out and my knees are giving me problems. Could some of this be caused by my medications or by the diabetes and the extra weight i m carrying around 205lbs at 5 5 or both? My Dr. is having me tested for Paresthesia. Not sure what that is.
