I suddenly developed pain in my lower back, buttocks, pelvic area, and thigh joint. I consulted a physician, who prescribed medications for pain and suggested physiotherapy with IFT, which I did for 7 days. The pain gradually decreased and is now localized to one spot in the lower back. I am currently doing back supporting exercises. However, I was recently found to have high blood sugar, with HbA1c of 11.1. Could this high blood sugar be related to my back pain, or will it improve on its own? What special care should I take to manage this condition? Please advise.

Sudden lower back and pelvic pain can have many causes but is not directly due to high blood sugar. An HbA1c of 11.1 indicates uncontrolled diabetes that needs urgent attention to prevent complications. Back pain may take time to improve with physiotherapy and exercises. Start diabetes management immediately with diet, exercise, and medication as advised by your doctor. Monitor blood sugar regularly and repeat HbA1c after 3 months to track improvement
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a RBS (Random Blood Sugar) Test Test

Hello, I have purchased a health policy and the policy issuer has raised concerns over the medical tests conducted from their end. My father HbA1c test has come out marginally increased at 6.2 in his blood report. Because of this, the issuer is not willing to provide the policy to my father. At present, my father is not taking any medicines and this matter is troubling me.
