Avatar f tn As a close, I find it rather odd that you post on a diabetes forum about issues with your cholesterol and triglycerides yet fail to mention anything related to diabetes except your Metformin dose. How stable and under control is your diabetes or is it running rampant like your cholesterol and triglycerides? If you have an eating disorder there is a MedHelp forum for that.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your comments. What kind of questions should I ask him? My blood preassure used to only go up when I went into his office. The old white coat syndrome. The cholestrol hasn't gone down but he didn't seem to be concerned at first until the new standards came out. Even off the pravachol for 2 months when my husband was down last year, then going back on it showed no difference. So I do think that the medicine is not working.
Avatar n tn Really depends on your blood sugar levels and your medications. if medications are adjusted right then it should not be necessary to snack between meals. eating lower carb will also help avoid highs and keep levels more stable (though medications may possibly also need to be reduced.
Avatar n tn I know that there are various medications that I can take to prevent the outbreaks but they are not 100 percent outbreak free medications. Your advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you! This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/245631'>Diabetes and Herpes</a>.
Avatar m tn Hello all. I'm new here and have a question. My daughter Laura is diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She's currently on medications, but cannot lower blood sugar in the mornings. I'm afraid she will get type 2 diabetes. What is the best way (and natural, of course) to treat gestational diabetes?
Avatar m tn No sugar. Because I am Native American. I am predisposed to diabetes. I suggest watching Dr. Berg videos on YouTube. You'll learn a lot, and feel better. He is very detailed.
Avatar f tn If you click on Home, you should see your home page with a "Learning Center" widget. In there, you'll see Diabetes. If you click See All, there's a lot of more information and resources there. After reading through all the information, let us know if you have more questions.
Avatar f tn Having trouble with high BS in the mornings (around 200) and also balancing not eating around Synthroid and taking Metformin with food. I am newly diagnosed with diabetes, started Metformin ER about 3 weeks ago. I had a total thyroidectomy due to cancer about 2 ½ years ago.
329994 tn?1301663248 Hello, I am a 56 year old female with Fibromyalga, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Diabetes and Microvascular Disease. I currently take Gabapentin, Verapamil, Potassium, Lasix, Metformin, Talwin, and Amrix. I used to take Hydrocodone for back pain and overall pain from the Fibromyalgia. But I developed an allergy to it. So, my doctor switched me to Talwin, which works ok. No allergy to it. We had recently moved and I had to find a new pain doctor.

Avatar f tn My grandma (type II) really liked her water aerobics class and was able to loose 100lbs in a year via aerobics and dieting. But I think she only had a once a day treatment and I know she's never needed insulin. I think it depends on how bad your diabetes is- is your blood sugar hard to control? I would recommend starting slow, like walking. Make sure carefully watch your sugar levels (before and after) to see how your chosen exercise effect it.
Avatar n tn Some diabetic medications do this. You can talk to your doctor about a different medication, but none will make you lose weight.

Avatar f tn Diabetes is NOT contagious you cant "catch it"
Avatar f tn How are you controlling/managing your glucose levels? What diabetes medications are you taking? How often and when? You haven't given us much information to work with and we don't have crystals balls to see what you're thinking, so give us as much information as you can provide. Try not to use phrases that only you understand or use abbreviate sentences. Please post back with your diabetes concerns and we'll take it from there.
Avatar m tn Hello, Your diabetes 2 is worsening over the years, 20 years, it is common, my friend. Why? because your doctors conviniently not to mention to you that all oral diabetes medicines, including Metformin, only works for some years and even expensive and painful Insulin dosage will loose their effectiveness over the years.Now, to save yourself from this horrible disease, immediately reduce your carb to (6,12,12). Read this book : Diabetes Solutions by DR.
Avatar f tn I had a bad cold where I would be coughing up phlem for about 3 weeks. I didn't want to take any medications so my boyfriend would make me natural teas and home remedies for me to get better which would consist of lemon, honey, chayanne pepper, and garlic. Not the best taste but I did get better.
1096512 tn?1384889778 What are the precautions that need to be kept in mind which may lead to uncontrolled situations of BG?Then what are the modifications that can be made in diet on home management basis other than hospital setup? 6.Any other information that should be considered? 7.Is there something else that I should know if I were to take care of such person?
Avatar n tn Hello Candikane, Your doctor's advice is surprising to me, also. I'm guessing that s/he is not a diabetes specialist and that's the type of physician who should be guiding your diabetes care. Specialists might be called endocrinologist or diabetologist. None of us here is a physician, but we're long-time diabetics or care-givers for diabetic children. You didn't mention if you've been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2, and the treatment options vary for these types.
640347 tn?1228533326 I am a Diabetic type 2 and have been since '96. The normal range for your blood sugar is 70 to 120. I take my blood sugars before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner, and before bedtime. I am on 2 different insulins and on Glucophage 1000mg 2 times a day. I am supposed to take my insulin shots 3 to 4 times a day depending on my blood sugar. Please, monitor your blood sugar and take care of yourself so your prediabetes does not get any worse.
1002740 tn?1250259880 I assume you have been diagnosed with diabetes. What were you told about how to manage that condition? Diet? Exercise? Oral medications? Do you follow this regime? Blood sugars from 180-456 on a regular basis put you in real danger of serious diabetic complications. I suggest you see a doctor/diabetic educator and learn how to manage your diabetes ASAP.
Avatar m tn Hi Sir, I am 55 years, a diabetes since 12 years, ( type 2) using insulin since 5 months. Now I have some problems. I have some burning sensation unde my feet and penis,sometime extreme. It may be the side effect of diabetes.
Avatar n tn I have Diabetes the doctor has given me NEOGAB 100 mg at bed time .. what are the side effects ?
Avatar f tn Have you been tested for diabetes? You did not mention this. Diabetes too causes similar problems. Another possibility is fibromyalgia. Too much anxiety too can precipitate such symptoms. Migraine can be treated with medicines that can help prevent an attack. Certain antiseizure medicines like Depakote and Topamax seem to prevent migraine too. Also certain anti depressants like amitriptyline, nortriptyline etc are known to prevent migraines.
