Avatar f tn If you notice that eating a few pieces of orange makes the shakes go away, then you likely have developing diabetes. Which means blood sugar went too low and eating the orange restored sugar levels. Other symptoms include frequent urination and great thirst, among others.
Avatar f tn You would rather look forward to a long retirement without eyesight (a side effect of diabetes) or legs (which are sometimes amputated in uncontrolled diabetes). The chances are they will pick up the problem by an hba1c. If the diabetes is under control, there is no reason you will not be able to continue in most jobs. You are not thinking clearly. See a physician.
Avatar f tn t know much about diabetes, but I would get her to the hospital. Hope everything turns out well!
Avatar f tn from Germany where it is widely used they say it is 20 times more popular than prozac .But in America intense prescription drug promotion and bias means little reliable info is out there .check out Newsmax.com the Mind health Report . 5HTP is another that works pretty well for anxiety, also Europe uses Sam-E a new one is the Serenity formula ..has Rhodiola in it ..
Avatar m tn He should talk to a doctor to find out if it's a sign of diabetes or not. I know the artificial sweetener in diet sodas has other issues of its own. It's plausible-sounding that it could be diabetes or maybe some kind of kidney issue.
Avatar f tn We have a seperate forum for Diabetes type 2 and Diabetes prevention. Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed, leading to high glucose levels in the blood and resulting in impaired metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It's sometimes referred to as insulin dependent diabetes.
Avatar n tn Nothing is new or change on diabetes medicines. Where do I find a new tact? No special/change diet for diabetes. Its bad smell happens to me just few months ago. Thank you anyway.
Avatar n tn get tested for diabetes, or eat if you havent. are you drinking lots of water?? go get tested. diabetes is easy to test for. and important to get treated.
Avatar m tn HR and hepatitis researchers posted antioxidants that reduce fibrosis from pubmed published studies, the link is in health pages a memeber of the community with hbv+hcv took for 4 or 6 years don t remember and cirrhosis decreased from 18kpa to about 5kpa, almost normal liver without anychange in disease severety since he didn t took any drug because it is very difficult to manage both viruses without awaking immune system which destroys the liver in his case.
Avatar m tn your dear kitty needs to see a Vet asap....this sounds very much like CRF (chronic renal failure...kidneys) OR diabetes.... she is most likely in alot of discomfort, please don't wait....these symptoms are very serious.
1530342 tn?1405016490 The government also said that GSK failed to report relevant safety information about the popular diabetes treatment Avandia to the FDA and even directly paid medical professionals to push the product on doctors for its alleged benefits for the heart -- even though GSK had no scientific data to back up that claim. In all, GSK pleaded guilty to three criminal charges for which it will pay $1 billion and another $2 billion will be paid in civil liabilities under the False Claims Act.
Avatar n tn My 13yo son Sean was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes nine months ago. We are self-employed and have only basic major medical coverage, so we have to buy all insulin and supplies such as syringes and test strips. Our income is too high to qualify us for any of the discount programs we have seen; but we are not rich by any stretch, and the expenses of diabetes treatment have significantly affected us.
Avatar f tn Diabetes is a disease that damages your blood vessels. First and foremost, you need to keep your diabetes under control. When was your last HgbA1C? What were the results? If you are overweight, lose weight. It will help both your diabetes and the erectile dysfunction. Likewise, if you smoke, quit. Nicotine causes your blood vessels to constriction and stay constricted for hours after your smoke a cigarette.
Avatar n tn Either you are about to break into viral fever or you have hypothyroidism, diabetes, VIT B12 deficiency or you have not been eating properly and hence have hypoglycemia attacks. Eat well, drink plenty of fluids and get these disorders tested. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
Avatar m tn Another reason for getting up a few times to empty the bladder due to diabetes. A blood HbA1C blood test would confirm whether you have diabetes.
Avatar m tn Alot of people think that diabetes is like a death sentence, but I have been living with diabetes for a few years now and I have not gained any more complications than when I was first diagnosed. I eat regularly and following the advice of my diabetes educator with my meds and regular exercise I am doing great.
Avatar m tn After being on this forum so much I learned to investigate anything I am told and become proactive in my own health care. The meds I was given has some bad sides including liver issues. I will not be taking this drug at this point. I am going to start to get way more exercise and monitor my diet. I went through so much to get SVR I wont wreck my liver from meds or not getting enough exercise.
Avatar f tn (I didnt plan it that way, it just happened) I am still having really bad soreness in my calves, aand some days I feel horrible, but overall I am wonderful and loving life. I got a promotion at work and am LOVING my new job. I instruct english at a college. I told everyone I dont care what you get me for my b day or if anyone even wishes me happy birthday; the fact that I am 30 days clean on my birthday is enough of a present for me. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Avatar m tn Parasthesia is due to dysfunctioning of neurons. It can be due to diabetes, hypothyroidism, peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, neujrological causes or malnutrition. Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist then get the above mentioned possibilities ruled out from a neurologist.
Avatar f tn I would suggest you seek a so-called wound-care center or wound-care specialist. You can find one by contacting a specialist in diabetes. As soon as possible. Do not get "put off". There is a likelihood that you may require hospitalization and intravenous medications. You are a candidate for an emergency room in a teaching hospital.
Avatar n tn Hi, He should see a physician. It may be a problem with the blood circulatory system or neurology related. Diabetes also can lead to such symptoms.
