Dear Sir,
My mother, who is 65 years old, is a diabetic patient. She’s been feeling numbness in her right leg for the past few days. When I took her to a doctor, he prescribed some medicines. We’ve been using these medicines for the last 15 days. However, her symptoms have not yet come down and her leg is still numb. We’re really worried. Please give us proper advice. Thanks in advance. I’ve also provided the prescribed medication below:
GLYCOMET 500 MG
INTAGLIP 50MG TAB
TUFGABA GAT TAB
PREHANCE TAB
Thanks,
Badri

Ok, if her sugar levels are under control, continue the same treatment.
Numbness in RT. Leg might be due to Diabetic neuropathy.
Better consult once Nero physician for evaluation.

Will need to know how good the control of sugar is. This is likely due to diabetic neuropathy ie nerve damage due to diabetes.
It usually take a few weeks ( not 15 days ) to see effects of medication. Also there is a better medication for the same.
Also need to check if damage to other organs.
Also newer medication available to prevent heart attack with diabetes would be suggested.
