HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible the medication that you are referring to is glimepiride. Diabetics can experience pain in the limbs related to problems with the nerves as a result of uncontrolled diabetes. (peripheral neuropathy)

Pain can also occur due to infection or decrease in circulation in the limb. It would be best for him to visit his doctor for a review to determine the exact cause.
This should be done as soon as he is able, if it is an infection it needs to be treated quickly.

I hope this helps
