Hello,
Her symptoms could be suggestive of peripheral neuropathy or arteriopathy due to diabetes. For this reason, I recommend consulting with her attending physician and performing some tests:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ERS
- Uric acid plasma levels
- A Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels
- Nerve conduction studies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
