Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.Sorry to hear you have diabetes.
Pain in legs in a diabetic could either be a complication of this disease or not.Since your pain is felt only when you play tennis, i feel it may not be a complication of this disease.It may be stress/strain due to exercise.However, it could also be a complication of this disease like diabetic neuropathy if your blood sugar is not well controlled.I will advise:
-Have your blood sugar under control
-Stay active and respect your pace
-Respect your diet
-If pain intense, pain drugs like aceclofenac may help
-You may also try cold/heat therapy
If symptoms persist, you see the Doctor for evaluation.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Wish you good health
