Does Diabetes Cause Swelling And Numbness In The Hands And Feet Along With Pain In The Joints?

Hello, my fasting blood sugar is 106 and liver function is abnormal, although I do not drink. I experience edema, swelling and numbness in hands and feet, painful muscles and joints, and difficulty walking and getting up and down in the hips. Is this diabetes, or may there be another issue? My muscles and joints have been severe in the past and I could not walk. thank you.

Hello,

If diabetes not being managed on a tight rule basis then it can because of the symptoms that you have.

Besides this, it can be arthritis condition responsible for the symptoms given here; details of an abnormal liver function is not given here.

As long as oedema and swelling is a concern, renal function has to be tested, you have not given much clinical information here else something better could have been discussed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
