asked

A 19-year-old diabetic is concerned about having Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) due to pain and numbness in their calves, random hair loss in certain areas, and an A1c level of 5.4. They have been noticing these symptoms for a couple of days, with no color changes. They take atorvastatin and metformin, and have lost 100 pounds. They have not used any medication specifically for these symptoms and have not seen a doctor about this. What could be the potential reasons behind these symptoms and what should they do?
