Comfused which dr to consult
Hi Doctors,
My mom has diabetes and she is on a tablet but from the past few months she is experiencing a lot of pain especially in her hands and legs and I think because of this acute pain her diabetes also started increasing just this morning her diabetes was 360. We are consulting a diabetic doctor but seems like it's not working her pain is not reducing, so I have a question which doctor can help in this? And what might be the reason of this pain?
