Diabetes: I Have Severe Muscle Loss In My Upper Legs Posted: 09-21-07 11:29am
I really knew I had diabetes for over two
years, excessive thirst, etc.
I realy did not notice until I saw the
shock on my daughters face that I had also
had dramatic loss of muscle in my upper
legs. I have a twin sister who is not
diabetic so I can compare to what I was
before.
My question is it gone forever? Can I ever
get it back? I walk everyday. I have lost
40 pounds and watch my diet now. I really
do not feel well. I mean better than I did
before I was diagnosed.
I also, take tenoretic, diovan, for blood
pressure. I take 1000 mg of meformin twice
a day, one januvia in the morning, one
amaryl in the morning for diabetes,
cholestrol i take one niaspan at night
(cholestrol was 1000),
I am trying to change my health. I am 53
years old.
My legs just look so bad and it bothers me
they look skeletal.
