Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your kidneys have been severely affected due to diabetes. Your glomerular filtration rate is 24ml/min/m2. This means that you have Stage 4 chronic kidney disease. I would suggest you see a nephrologist urgently as this requires immediate treatment.
The numbness of the legs can also be due to diabetes affecting the nerves. The discoloration also needs to be examined to find out the cause.
Please see a physician urgently.
Hope this helps.
