My Dad is diabetic since last 10 years, have mentioned medication he is taking. Recently started complaining about pain under knees, in ankles, Burning sensation under feets.Exercises well. Do we require change in medication or is it due to long term sugar implications? Have visited multiple doctors but no solid response. Pain and Numbness started with one leg and now in both. Please advise next steps.
