A member asked:
Can back and leg pain be signs of a diabetic kidney problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Back and leg problems are common in diabetics. Kidney problems can occur with diabetes but are usually silent (no symptoms) and must be checked out by regular medical and laboratory testing.
