Patient's question:
I was carefully diagnosed with diabetes a while ago, and I always have bone and joint pain in my hands and feet. I would like to know if it is treatable for diabetes-related hand and foot bone pain?Doctor's answer:
If diabetes leads to hand and foot bone pain, it's important to rule out whether it's due to diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Most patients experience sensory abnormalities caused by peripheral neuropathy, which may manifest as numbness, heaviness, or discomfort in the bones. Treatment primarily focuses on actively controlling blood sugar levels, and in necessary cases, nerve-nourishing medications can be taken. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a quick victory over the disease.
