Why is my 65-year-old diabetic mother still experiencing numbness in her right leg after taking her prescribed medications?Glycomet 500 mg, Intaglip 50mg, Tufgaba Gat, and Prehance?for 15 days, and what steps should we take next?

It is completely understandable to worry when your mother is still experiencing numbness. Please be reassured that nerve healing is a gradual process. The numbness is likely due to diabetic neuropathy. While metformin (Glycomet) and vildagliptin (Intaglip) manage her blood sugars, Tufgaba and Prehance are prescribed to support nerve recovery. These nerve-targeted medications often take four to six weeks to show significant improvement, so fifteen days is simply too short a time to see full results. Please continue her prescribed routine, monitor her daily blood sugars closely, and consult her doctor for a follow-up to ensure she is progressing safely.
