Painful legs: Hi EternalC, the short answer is yes. As you are a type 2 diabetic and remembering a similar question regarding leg pain, i would have concern regarding the development of peripheral neuropathy. If it's both legs, symmetric, and seemingly unrelated to trauma, stress, or circulation, then peripheral neuropathy is a real concern. To delay onset, good glucose control is imperative.

NO: But, if you have Type II diabetes, not unusual to have complication of peripheral neuropathy. We could set up Concierge visit to evaluate this more thoroughly.
