General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

All your symptoms are due to uncontrolled diabetes. Apart Glucophage, I'd recommend adding another hypoglycemiant. But first should run diabetes testing (fasting blood sugar, oral glucose tolerance test, HBA1C level) to evaluate the blood sugar (bs) oscillations.

Uncontrolled diabetes is also a type of stress, so you should add multivitamin supplementation to your current diet (B, E, D, calcium, zinc, etc.)

Severe pain should be checked as local joint changes should be ruled out together with cardiovascular issues.

Discuss this further with your caring doctor to change treatment strategy.

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

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
