Diabetes - weakness

Q: I am 55 years old and a mild diabetic. My diabetes is well controlled. My fasting blood sugar is 85 and PP blood sugar is 135. Recently I have started feeling drained out and weak with no other associated symptoms. Kindly advise as to what is wrong and the cure for it.

A:Thank you for your inquiry. As you say yourself it looks as if you have very well controlled diabetes with good blood sugar readings, and obviously your treatment with daonil is entirely appropriate. I am afraid that back pain is not feature of diabetes and you will really need to talk to your doctor and ask him for an examination to discover what is wrong. Even weakness is not a symptom of well controlled diabetes. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help but I am sure that you need proper medical advice.
