diabetes symptoms webmd

but i went on webmd and they say some symptoms are....fever,swollen lymp nodes, sore throats, night sweats, confusion...??????? so if your telling me there arent really any symptoms for it then why does webmd state this?

Dear Girlfriend of shinethedog, Re: "carries excess weight on his abdomen only, sweats easily, is hot at night, although cool to touch. These are things I have noticed." I am very similar as you describe.............and make notations of things like this for his Primary Care Physician and Cardiologist. I am 58 years of age - have had an Ejection Fraction of 10-15% since '03.

I do have high blood pressure ( take metropolol) and have High Cholesterol( take simvastatin), 3 months ago he did a Diabetes AiC test that came back 6.6 and said I have diabetes. Asked for a new 3 month test which we did today and it came back 6.3 which I knew it would come back normal. I am very active ,eat as well as I can, not many sweets, or drinks, very thin, etc. Don't know how this test came back abnormal 3 months ago.

I was in a vehicle accident late last year and an MRI was performed on my spine and head. The doctors noticed non-specific white matter in the brain and decided to perform a test for lyme since I have been dealing with many symptoms that could be attributed to lyme. She wasn't expecting much but when the results came back she referred me to an infectious disease doctor.

ive read on here that it takes 2-4 weeks for symptoms to appear. however, on webmd, and some other online material, it says symptoms can appear days to months after exposure. as i stated before, my symptoms came 2 days after, so if in fact it is 2 weeks the soonest, it will definitly help put this to rest. lizzie lou, teak, any input?

I am male, 44. Found diabetes before eight months. I am not taking any medicine. Once I visited a doc who precribed me a long list of medicines and again I declined to take the medicines. My count is about 240(fasting) and about 300 rendom. I am quite normal with my health. I heard that the medicine will create the health unbalance. In the case of dibetes, I think, doctors are acting like dealers and treating patients as clients.

Has anyone ever had this or has it now? I was looking at WebMD and with my symptoms I've been having, it kind sounds like that may be what I have. My symptoms are frequent heartburn, feeling a pressure on my chest that makes it hard to breathe, and an acidy taste in my mouth.

Surgery, additional testing, medication, life style changes, anything else? I read, I think on WebMD, that there is a danger of the blockage breaking off and clogging the entire artery? How common is this and is there anything that be done to prevent it from happening? Originally this sounded like a good thing because the breakage will reduce the size of the blockage but then it sounds dangerous. Thanks for your input. R.T.

I had researched essential tremors on WebMD. I appreciate your time.

I copied and pasted this info from WebMD. IUn used "urine and ammonia" in the search field. Within the article was a subsection dealing with smell. Here it is. I hope it helps: Odor Changes Urine normally doesn't have a very strong smell. If you get a whiff of something particularly pungent, you could have an infection or urinary stones, which can create an ammonia-like odor. Diabetics might notice that their urine smells sweet, because of excess sugar.

the doctor tells WebMD, but adds that this information needs to be seen in the bigger picture created by the other factors in testing. "If heart rate recovery is not so good, but everything else is [good], you can't put too much into it." ....People who had abnormal heart rate recovery times are at increased risk for [heart disease] so that everything that can be fixed, should be," the doctor suggests: Smokers should break the habit.

Have you considered having weekly total calories eaten and expended like WebMD? They also allow for tracking the calories expended doing specific daily activities like sleeping, desk work, shopping, etc. That way you can account for all the calories you burn in one day (not just those related to exercise) and compare them to all the calories you consume. I like their diet tracker very much but I like that Med Help has trackers for my migraines, my mood, etc.

It sounds like a rather common issue, either from the diabetes itself or from the meds. She and her doc should work together to find her a medication that doesn't have that effect, or to get her a prescription for something that can ease the runs. She shouldn't have to be continually dealing with accidents, that's for sure, but she really should be taking her meds.

I had been worried this might have returned. I do have a few health issues like diabetes (insulin dependant) and take a beta blocker as well as thyroid meds. I did read on webmd that thyroid issues can cause lack of blood flow. As long as I am not running a fever I am confident its not a reoccuring staff infection but I would like to know what this is since it showed up out of nowhere.

which is completely normal, but then a few hours later I get very fatigued and start to lose most of my energy. As I am typing this I feel the symptoms and it really messes with my productivity. There are days where I have gone to work and had to deal with it throughout the day and, while I can pull through, it really hits me harder later on.

But when I went to then Doctor recently, then said my glucose reading was a 220. So does this mean I have pre-diabetes or even already diabetes? They are going to run some more tests at the doctor, so I am just wondering. I just can't figure out that if I haven't gotten really sick, then I find it hard to understand how I could have diabetes. And how can my body go from being just fine, to producing little insulin (if it even is diabetes). Maybe I'm in denial...

yes, babe, those could definitely be symptoms of diabetes. but they could also be lots of other things. whatever they are, you should take them seriously and get to your doctor right away. he or she can run some simple blood tests and tell you what's going on. don't put yourself through feeling so badly when there may be a really easy fix. good luck!!

Recently i have been experiencing extreme thirst, frequent urination and hand shakes. I know theses are some symptoms of diabetes however I have not experienced any weight loss. Is there another possible explanation for my symptoms? Are these enough symptoms to be concerned about possible diabetes?

Possibly. The tiredness, blurry vision, nightsweats, and infections COULD be symptoms of diabetes, but I don't know how your epilepsy could be influencing your symptoms. Only a doctor and a test can tell you for sure. You said you got the result for the first fasting test; do you know what the number was? Yes, ask for an A1C. Many doctors are not too educated on diabetes but that is pretty basic.

When I looked on webmd I saw the symptoms and I started to freak out! I notice that I was VERY tired, had a mild head ache and my tongue was white. Shaken from what I read on Webmd, that HIV fit all of those symptoms, I started to visit my dr a lot more often. She gave me a fuul blood test, which all came out perfect, except my belly ruben was a bit high, and that was after seven months.

He has battled severe fatigue and depression for months and upon getting blood tests this month, was found to have diabetes. The concern I had for him, was his also being found to have low CBCs, indicating anemia. The concern is that I know anemia is not a typical finding in males his age and his development of diabetes seemed to be a fast onset. I am wondering about possibilities of blood loss due to a disease or other possibilities.

Can you tell me if you had most of the symptoms of diabetes when you were diagnosed? Or, did you not have noticeable symptoms, and found out through an exam? What made you suspect you had diabetes?

The causes are many like diabetes, depression, autonomic nervous system problem, excessive alcohol ingestion or tobacco smoking etc. You may need to consult your doctor to see which amongst these causes are responsible for your problem. The commonly prescribed drug by the doctors is sildenafil, which causes erections to be stronger and long lasting. It is not safe to take this drug without doctor’s advise. There is no herbal drug for the same.
