How to effectively manage fatigue in Metformin patients?
Hello doctor,
My father's age is 60 years and is a patient of type 2 DM. He is also a patient of hypertension with an abnormal lipid profile. His RBS is now 360 mg/dl. He is suffering from extreme fatigue although BP is controlled by anti-hypertensive drugs. In this condition, how can we manage fatigue although he is taking Metformin regularly?

Why do diabetics develop diabetic neuropathy?
Hi doctor,
Can you tell me, do all the diabetics develop diabetic neuropathy? My relative is 25 years old and just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetics. Will she definitely develop neuropathy? Can you also tell me the estimates of the number of diabetics developing it? She is diabetic but is not a BP patient.

Do high lipid and glucose levels cause nerve-related issues?
Hi doctor,
I have developed symptoms of nerve dysfunction (burning, tingling, etc.) but all the nerve related tests were normal. Over the past 9 to 12 months, my diet was poor, I am about 70 pounds overweight, age 40, and have high LDL. My blood glucose last year was 86 mg/dL, then it went up to 97 mg/dL by the fall, and then up to 106 mg/dL this year. I went on a diet and lost 20 lbs so far, but the test this week was at 101 mg/dL after a 12-hour fast. My question is this: Can a blood glucose around 100 to 105 mg/dL and high lipids for numerous months cause any nerve related symptoms?
