What Causes Loss Of Balance While Walking And Fatigue In A Diabetic Patient?
I was just 78 and for the past 8 or so years i can lose my balance while walking. It does not happen all the time but when I am tired, hungry it can happen more often. I use a cane now but want to be free of it and just walk. I am a healthy person except take medication for diabetes and high blood and low potassium. I have fallen maybe 3 times in the last 6 months. Sometimes I walk fine and other times my gait is off. I just read that doing exercises can help.
hi, well must be shure that the blood sugar levels are fine by glycated hemoglobin test, because coud be due to diabetic neuropathy, must the sugar be controlled very closely for prevent low levels too.
