Question 5

I'm 42 and my blood sugar is at 164. My feet have this burning sensation, and I've been feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and what can I do to feel better?

Accepted Answer

Your blood sugar level of 164 indicates uncontrolled diabetes, which can lead to symptoms like burning feet and weakness. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend taking Metformin 500mg twice daily before meals to control your blood sugar levels. Additionally, you can take Vitamin B12 supplements to help with the burning sensation in your feet. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Fasting blood glucose should not exceed 100mgdl. The initial drug of choice for first line treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is Metformin 500mg. However, in order to get a more comprehensive understanding of your condition, you should undergo a panel of tests including FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, and URE. This data will help to curate a more effective treatment plan for you. You should also look into lifestyle modifications such as diet control, regular exercise, stress management and cessation of smokingdrinking (if you are a smokerdrinker).
