Patient's question:
After discovering I had diabetes, I have been controlling my diet and taking medication for 30 years! The side effects of the medication on the kidneys are really significant! Fortunately, I don't need to use insulin! Otherwise, I can't afford it financially on my own! Why do diabetic legs always feel weak and fatigued?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes for 30 years, there must be complications of diabetes. Your condition is a complication of diabetes. For example, large vessel inflammation of diabetes, such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, and microvascular inflammation of diabetes, such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, etc. With a long history of diabetes, you can inject insulin subcutaneously, which can increase the harm to the liver and kidneys. Insulin also has relatively cheaper options, more economical and cost-effective than oral medications.
