For the last few days, I have been feeling pain in my legs and back.

I don't know what's going on. I am diabetic but have not checked my sugar level in the last few months as my glucometer was not working.

I got it repaired and checked it today and my fasting blood sugar came out to 134 and it's high.

Maybe that's the reason my legs are paining. I am worried about how to get it controlled as I don't want to die early.

Hope you could well soon, my dear friend. Your blood sugar is high, and I think you should get some insulin. At the same time, you'd better not to eat any sweet food.

Insulin is taken when the sugar level is at the extreme. I don't think the doctor will advise it.

@MattMeng I went to the doctor, and he changed the medicines and took a sample of blood to do some tests. I checked the level it's coming to 114 today, it has reduced but I want it to come down to 100.

Oh no that’s not good your testing thing was broken for so long. Good thing you got it fixed. I have no clue if that could cause your leg pain or not.

@shaggin In the blood test report cholesterol is increased so he has added medicine and says it will improve in a week.

Yes, it was because of the increased blood sugar, now the doctor has changed the medicines and dosage. He says I will see the improvement in the next 7 days, hope it does

I think you should talk to your doctor, because your back and legs pain can be a sign of diabetes.

I already have it but it's increasing and I guess medicines aren't working now.

Oh that is worrisome! I in fact tend to have a bit low BP when I get high fever. But I am planning to have a long overdue CBC and other Tests. Also I think I am perhaps a bit low on Vitamin D. You perhaps need to walk more and have balanced diet. Plus take adequate rest.

I hope that goes away. Controlling your blood sugar is important for a whole host of medical reasons--they have even linked diabetes to increased dementia--that would get me moving in a heartbeat--

You can't go months without checking your sugar levels. You have to do it all the time.

Sorry to hear about your feeling. Better go to your medic for a proper medication. Avoid sugary foods and drinks.

Are you on medication for your diabetes? If not, you should see a doctor and take his advice. And do it soon. Something must be wrong if your back and legs are hurting.

So, are you taking insulin on a regular basis? I remember my boss who was a diabetic. He had to take insulin shots all the time.

134 is in the normal range of blood sugar, but maybe your doc wants to keep it lower. You need to get on top of this though as diabetes side effects are horrible. Former Roomie has pain in his legs and back, but he is not good at controlling his diabetes.

With some changes in your lifestyle I am sure your blood sugar can be kept in check.

I hope you can see a doctor very soon and hopefully keep a better check on your sugar levels. My cousin is diabetic and she struggles with hers. You should be very concerned.
