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.
Suger after meal is 250 approx hba1c is 7.5
Plz guide this issue is occured for last two weeks...
...
I was diagnosed with diabetes 1.5 years ago (since 2025). At that time, my sugar levels were as follows: Fasting 274 and HbA1c 11.9.
I consulted a naturopathic doctor who did not prescribe any medication but gave me B12 and D injections. After three months, my test results were:-
Fasting 285 and HbA1c 11.7, showing no improvement, so I stopped treatment.
On October 9, 2026, I had another blood test (kindly refer the summary attached for latest blood test report). Currently, my fasting blood sugar is 372 and HbA1c is 12.5, which is severe. I consulted a diabetologist who recommended insulin, but I prefer not to take it. The doctor also prescribed metformin and a cholesterol medication (10 mg, name unclear; my LDL level is 121) along with D3.
The tests "NOT MENTIONED" in the attached summary are "NORMAL"
Questions:
1. Is it possible to normalize my sugar levels without insulin?
2. What medications do you recommend based on my report?
3. Is this serious?
4. What to do and what not?
