Question 1

my feet are pink. i believe from poor circulation. should i see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

Pink is okay.: Having pink feet doesn't necessarily mean you have bad circulation.  Do you have swelling in your feet?  Do your toes get numb?  Do you get cramping in your calfs when you exercise?  Those things are more indicative of poor circulation.  It doesn't hurt to get a thorough checkup by your doc though.

Question 2

my feet are always cold especially at night. my doctor said it is bc i have bad circulation. should i be worried about this and is there any 2 fix it.

Accepted Answer

Bad circulation?: At age 17 ?  Ok, circulation is not my specialty, but that surprises me. I kind of doubt that. Find another doctor and put on warm socks at night.

Question 3

i have dm2.my dr. doesn't require me to test my blood glucose.he also doesn't check my feet & refer me to an eye doctor.why?

Accepted Answer

Consider seeing: Another dr who is more meticulous. Just a thought. Take care!

Question 4

is it better to see neuro or vascular doctor for leg tingling from circulation?

Accepted Answer

It depends: One question to be answered is did an md tell you it was a circulation problem. If so, what tests were done to determine this? If the problem is vascular then the vascular doctor should be consulted. A neurologist would be helpful for nerve/spine problems that are causing the symptoms. It may also be more than one problem but it is better to have your primary doctor coordinate the specialists.
