Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Weakness in Legs.

Recently about 6 months back i have been diagnosed with DM T2 with hypertension.
I am 34 years old and in perfect weight and shape, still a few weeks back i have been having a lot of weakness of muscle, shakiness and a slight loss of balance in body specially in the left thight muscle.
I am out of clue as to why this is happening. My HBA1c 4 months back was 8.6, now it is 7 with exercise and diet. It will come down more in the next few weeks...

This weakness, specially of left leg is making me very depressed. Can you please guide me as to what the problem is?

This Dm is a real pain... :|

I'm not a Doctor and can not diagnose you or anyone....however, do call your doctor to rule out anything that may be causing you distress. I'm still guessing you have anxiety....especially if your doctor can not find anything wrong with you and or your tests come back normal. Anxiety can cause all sorts of problems and can mimic all kinds of problems....even heart attacks and strokes. The symptoms vary and are broad so it is hard to say for sure what is wrong.
Again....I do not claim to be a doctor and can only speculate what might be ailing you.
Just my shiny nickels worth today :)

Ok i did have chat with my Doc yesterday and he said that it is due to the nerves weakness. He gave me some medicine for that and since yesterday i have been perfectly fine.
Hope it continues!
These health issues are so unpredictable..... they come up anytime! geeeez...
Yes anxiety can be a problem with me, sometimes i get nervous...and go to the extreme thinking of the worst case scenarios...
