My husband is a 66 year old man, he dos'nt have the best of health, diabetic type 2, triple bypass(approx.15yrs ago) chronic arthritis.
Over the past few weeks I have noticed he walks with a definate shuffle, he says it's hard for him to lift his feet, constantly tired, he can spend most of the day in bed, he is also very forgetful & lethargic.
I hope you can shed some light on his problems.

Hi Margaret,
Has your husband had a physical lately?
Diabetes can cause circulatory problems and problems in the feet are common. If not managed correctly it can also account for some confusion.
I would start with a complete physical exam before we can begin to address what may be going on.
Hope it helps.
