Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My mother is having leg cramps from the past two to three months. And now from the past two weeks, she is complaining about feet sole pain and burning sensation which is almost intolerable. We got a few blood tests done as advised by our family doctor as per which two tests are worrying us. Glucose fasting and plasma reading came out to be 129 mg/dL and Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy serum reading was 30.22 nmol/L. So, kindly advise how to proceed further.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through the history and mentioned investigations (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
Fasting blood sugar 129 mg/dL is something to worry about because it is in the diabetic range. I will be happy to help you better if you can upload all the investigation results for my reference. Her sugar at present in the diabetic range newly diagnosed, her burning sensation and sole pain could be due to diabetic neuropathy.
We need to check the post-meal blood sugars also and start her on antidiabetic medicines. Until then take the medicines as advised below.
