Pain in Leg

Asked for Female, 16 years

A girl was complaining about pain in leg. Her parents checked her blood glucose level which was 250mg/dl in the morning and later 400mg/dl...Is she diabetic? What should be investigating and treatment now?

Dear Patient,

Please specify if these readings were while fasting (before breakfast) or random(which should be at least 2hrs after meals). If these were less than 2hrs after a meal then a high reading can be expected.
Its best to test CBC, serum vitamin D and HbA1c and then see a medical dr or child specialist with these reports and previous ones.
It may be likely that the child is anemic or deficient in vitamin D that's causing this pain.
Apply brufen gel to her legs before bed, give calpol syrup at bedtime. Hope this helps.
