A member asked:

I am type 2 diabetic i have pain that radiate from buttock down leg felt in both leg worse in right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain: Two things: 1: You need a referral to a Neurologist, and soon! 2: I simply don't like the term "type 2 diabetic". No you are not "diabetic" - you have "diabetes" and you should try and get rid of it. Not always possible but you should see a diabetes educator that would help you in the right direction.
