Mom facing sole of the feet problem. Constant complains of pain while walking and movement. Leading active lifestyle.
Diabetes under control, routine checkups
However checked her feet today. Looked highly veiny. Certain patches of bloody streaks like formations I observed.
Up the leg, veiny bulges, and certain darkened patches in the general foot and leg region.
I am just concerned if it could be anything related to pre dry gangrene or something. Just asking.
Would genuinely appreciate any advice, as my mom has complained of the foot pain since a long time.

Hello Doctor,
I am a 30-year-old male. My mother has diabetes, and I am concerned about my own risk.
For approximately 8 years, I drank tea 8–10 times a day because I was experiencing depression. I often drank tea immediately after waking up on an empty stomach.
For the last 3 years, I have been experiencing the following symptoms:
Dry skin
Unintentional weight and muscle loss
Fatigue
Brain fog
Headaches upon waking up
No morning erections
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
My random blood sugar levels before and after meals and my HbA1c are normal.
I have the following questions:
Can I still have diabetes despite normal blood sugar and HbA1c results?
Could I have insulin resistance or prediabetes?
Could drinking tea 8–10 times daily for 8 years have contributed to my symptoms?
Could tinnitus be related to any of these symptoms?
Which investigations should I undergo to identify the cause of my symptoms?
I would appreciate your advice on the most appropriate tests.
Thank
