[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a peripheral neuropathy induced by diabetes. But a careful differential diagnosis between other causes, like a venous insufficiency or peripheral arthropathy should be performed. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination and tests: - A nerve conduction study to examine the lower limb nerves- A Doppler ultrasound of the lower limb vessels to examine the blood flow-blood lab tests (complete blood count, HbA1C, fasting glucose, PCR, sedimentation rate, kidney and liver function test, blood electrolytes). You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Greetings!
