Pain in legs/feet: If your sugars are not well controlled ie Hgb greater than 7. Then your pain is probably Diabetic neuropathy If you have a bad back it is probably related to disc problems If you have both problems then it would be a combination of the above two. If you have poor circulation then it can be an indication of increased circulation problems

See your doctor: You are a type 1 diabetic, that means you must be on insulin. That means you must have a physician who is treating you. He needs to know about this. You have had this problem for five weeks. That is something to see your doctor for not the ER. If you do not have a doctor that is an emergency, get one. In the meantime if it is suddenly worse go to the ER. Then go to you doctor for this. Good healt

Yes: Be assessed. A diabetic is at risk for infection, nerve and vascular disease. Also check your glucose control. All the best.
