Diabetes Disability Impairment - Collecting Medical Evidence
The most important thing is to see your doctor regularly and to document your symptoms. Be specific when describing your symptoms and make sure that they are writing it down in your file. For example, if you are suffering from pain or numbness in your hands or feet, tell your doctor you can’t hold a phone, pick up change, use a computer, walk across a room or even sit in a chair with your feet on the floor without severe pain.
Providing your doctor with descriptive information about your diabetes is critical. If you need to elevate your feet for relief, make sure you tell your doctor how high. Be specific. This helps your doctor adjust your treatment and, when the time comes, will help your Social Security disability lawyer to prove your case.
