Painful Legs In Diabetes
Diabetic muscle infarction (DMI) is the muscle tissue damage due to diabetes. It is a medical condition in which tissue dies because its blood supply is cut off. It is a rare complication in patients with advanced diabetes mellitus (DM). Patients having diabetic nephropathy are prone to develop diabetic muscle infarction.
It is caused by infarcted (tissue death due to inadequate blood supply to the affected area) muscle tissue, most commonly in the thigh. Nearly one-fourth of Diabetic muscle infarction patients receive renal replacement treatment.

Because its symptoms can be easy to miss, DMI is often not noticed or treated as quickly as it should be. Anyone who has diabetes should be aware of the possibility of developing DMI. If you suspect that you might have DMI, then you should seek immediate medical attention.
