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.
The most common causes of repeated UTIs are kidney stones and diabetes mellitus. Making a diagnosis of a urinary tract infection includes performing a urinalysis test, which checks for the presence of pus, white blood cells, and bacteria in the urine, which point to a urinary tract infection. A urine culture and sensitivity is usually performed to find the exact microorganism that is causing the infection.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
She never mentioned anything about insulin and that's because she has Diabetes Insipidus, which she clearly stated. Diabetes Insipidus IS NOT Diabetes Mellitus.
With restatement of those principles the most common thing would be undiagnosed and/or out of control diabetes mellitus. Spasm of accommodation could cause those symptoms but its very very rare. Less common in 18 year olds: strokes, subdural hematomas, intercranial hemorrhage, myasthenia gravis, 6th cranial nerve paralysis/paresis.
You may immediately review the Warnings statement about hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus in the SEROQUEL Prescribing Information by visiting the web site www.Seroquel.com. Updated package inserts containing the additional hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus information will accompany the medication in the near future and you should, of course, refer to the insert for full Prescribing Information.
I see you have the word 'diabetes' crossed. Diabetes is a Greek word meaning large amounts of urine. Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus fall into this realm but both are separate mechanisms.
This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.

Hi there,
The common causes of frequent urination in night are urinary tract infection, diabetes mellitus, prostate problems, interstitial cystitis, diuretic use, bladder dysfunction or overactive bladder syndrome. Each of these conditions will have its associated symptoms. A physical examination and medical history is very important .Depending on the findings of the physical exam and medical history, you may need tests like urine analysis, ultrasound KUB,cystoscopy,cystometry etc.
Development of diabetes mellitus (DM) during or shortly after treatment with interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been reported sporadically. We prospectively screened for DM during and after IFN-alpha therapy for chronic HCV infection. METHODS: Blood glucose levels of patients with chronic HCV infection were routinely assessed at all outpatient visits during and after treatment with pegylated-IFN-alpha (Peg-IFN-alpha) and ribavirin (Riba).
Thus, the endothelium emerges as a key target organ of damage in diabetes mellitus; this damage is enhanced in the presence of hypertension. An overall approach to the understanding and treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications will be to elucidate the mechanisms of vascular disease and endothelial cell dysfunction that occur in the setting of hypertension and diabetes".
Hope this provides some insight and a perspective that may help explain the possibilities.
I am a 17 year old female and for the past 2 years i have been experiencing the same symptoms. They vary in severity, but are always there to some degree. My symptoms are confusion, headaches (to the point where i cannot even get out of bed), difficulty walking, weakness, trouble forming sentences while talking, dizziness, tiredness and nausea. I have been to several doctors and they have ruled out mono, pregnancy, inner ear, and anything like cancer. ANY IDEA what it could be??

As you know a syndrome is a sum of symptoms that is associated to a specific disease. The type I usually occurs in childhood, and hypoparathyroidism is the most frequent manifestation, followed by adrenal cortical failure. Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is also commonly present, and diabetes mellitus seldom occurs. Type II , generally occurs in adults (peak at age 30). How old are you?
Hi, motility disorders can cause the symptoms described by you. Diabetes mellitus can cause autonomic neuropathy and consequent slower motility of the intestinal tract. Medications to promote motility may help in emptying the intestines by promoting motility. As you waits for investigations to be done, begin with good lifestyle measures to control your symptoms. Exercise regularly. Take frequent small meals. Avoid those foods which are high in oil content.
Hello,
Without examination confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but frequent urination (polyuria) can be due to diabetes mellitus. Other possibilities are diabetes insipidus, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis(inflammation of the kidneys),urinary tract infection, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia(low potassium),hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, diuretic drugs and benign hyperplasia of the prostate(in males).

What is the cause of peripheral nerve damage in the feet? Have you been evaluated for diabetes mellitus? Chronic uncontrolled diabetes can cause peripheral nerve damage and symptoms of loss of sensation, altered sensation like tingling, numbness, paresthesia or motor loss of function. You need to be evaluated for nerve damage, pressure on nerves, pinched or entrapped nerves. Sometimes chronic vitamin b complex deficiency particularly B12 can cause peripheral neuropathy.
The symptoms mentioned could be caused by cervical spondylosis. Some metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders are known to simulate these symptoms. Please consult your primary care physician who will carry out blood tests and x rays to rule out these conditions.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
I have also been diagnosed with IGT, which can be a pre-curser to diabetes mellitus. I also had gestational diabetes during both my pregnancies (albeit never at very high levels).
With all the above problems, I am obviously concerned that I might be showing signs of a cardiac problem. Can anyone out there advise me, or tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
