Avatar m tn In the UK, diabetes test measurements are presented as mmol/l [millimoles/liter]. Normal fasting mmo/l glucose [blood sugar] ranges are 3.88 to 5.5 mmol/l. If your "gone up to 18points" is a fasting 18 mmol/l you are in the danger zone of having serious life threatening health issues. Please educate yourself on the hows/what-to-do's on diabetes control and management before its too late.

Avatar m tn 1) Get my insulin by registering with a US based healthcare profesional and paying for it via the health insurance cover I will be given by my work - not sure how the surcharges and in-out of care really works with diabetes so if anyone can help explain it to me I would be grateful! 2) Get my free prescriptions from the UK and arrange for someone in the UK to have them shipped into the US - is this legal? Can UPS or FedEx ship it without subjecting it to temps that will damange the insulin?

Avatar n tn Hyperhidrosis may be congenital or an acquired trait. Congenital means you are born with it, while an acquired trait means you are not; the condition is acquired later in life after birth. Hyperhidrosis may be categorized as being the result of an underlying health condition, or with no apparent cause: Primary idiopathic hyperhidrosis - there is no apparent cause. Idiopathic means "of unknown cause". In the majority of cases the hyperhidrosis is localized.

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 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 I have been experiencing very bad health problems for over a year now - I have been getting foggy heads where I feel like I am going to pass out but not actual spinning dizzyness - I get pins and needles and numbness in my hands and feet, I am always thirsty and visit the toilet regularly - I am extremely tired all the time and have gained a lot of weight - I can't drive anymore cause my loss of balance is too scary.

Avatar n tn My dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 5 years ago and had an effective management system, but had a minor stroke a few months ago and the system is less effective.
