Avatar f tn Hello, In my earlier post,I have mentioned some of the common causes of vomitings and nausea.As you have mentioned that your husband is a type-I diabetic,so possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis may be there.It is a state of absolute or relative insulin deficiency aggravated by ensuing hyperglycemia, dehydration, and acidosis-producing derangements in intermediary metabolism. http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic135.htm Did your husband get evaluated for his blood sugar levels in the ER.

His review was a peptic ulcer and prescribed 30mg of Prevacid along with 1g of Amoxil and Biaxin (not sure of amount).

Avatar m tn Hi. So I got another ulcer on my foreskin and I decided to get myself tested for HSV. I got a HSV1/2 type-specific IgG testing by ELISA. I got <2 RU/mL for both HSV1 and HSV2. Reference: <16: negative, unlikely infected with HSV 1 or 2 16-=22: positive, likely infected with HSV 1 or 2, recommend for clinical examination and review My last genital sexual exposure was in early April, so it's basically 5 months. Is that long enough for this IgG test to be conclusive?
Avatar m tn Diabetes may be associated with increased susceptibility to infections and reduced healing power and in a few cases may be associated with neuropathy and decreased vascularity that could lead to the formation of a diabetic ulcer. Management of a diabetic ulcer would involve adequate control of blood sugar level, prevention of further trauma/ extension and appropriate antibiotics in the situation of an infection.
Avatar m tn This is likely to be an ulcer with granulation formation. Management in such a situation is best discussed with his treating doctor and may consist appropriate measures of infection control such as antibiotics, debriment etc and control of blood sugar levels. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar f tn If you are newly diagnosed diabetic or pre diabetic, please talk with your doctor or better yet a diabetic educator to figure what combination of things will work for you. Get a test meter and test your blood sugar to see how different foods affect you. Go to other websites where there are people who have been successfully managing diabetes for man years and listen to what works for them, recognizing that we are all different.

Avatar f tn I am 12 yrs now a diabetic my treatment is oral (solosamet and trajenta) my B/G is 126ml/g and am now experiencing fatty liver for almost a year Without medication. I am 60 yrs old. Is my fatty liver caused by my medication?
Avatar n tn After 2 weeks my infection is back. I am a type 2 diabetic and this has gone on for 8 months. What kind of test can I beg for to find the problem?
Avatar m tn Hi, this may or may not be true w/ your cat, but we had a cat that became a diabetic because of the steroid drug she was put on for some colon issues. I know that sometimes vets will use this drug to treat cancer in our cats, too. So, if your cat has been given a steroid drug, either by injection or pill, then this could very well be the cause of her diabetes. And, as soon as this drug is stopped, so will the diabetes. Best wishes to you. I know first hand how tough your situation is.
Avatar m tn I have diabetic neuropath. I have taken Lyrica for the nerve pain, and for me it was miraculous. I could walk again, swimm, didn't hurt. II have had to quit taking it because of the cost, but neurontin is going to be my next try. There are several meds out there.
Avatar f tn A CBC and complete metabolic panel (blood work) would not be a bad idea to check the condition of your liver and overall health. Cooler showers may also help.
Avatar m tn It seems like that you should consult a doctor for your blood test (especially sugar for diabetes) and neurological assessment. Diabetes in long run is associated with diabetic retinopathy (gradual loss of vision), diabetic neuropathy (numbness in extremities) and sometimes teeth loss. However, few neurological or different medical conditions may relate to few symptoms. Please consult a doctor at your earliest convenience. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn She was to begin treatment with Avastin+Cytoxan, however a gastroscope revealed an ulcer in her duodenum and her doctor is reluctant to go forward with the Avastin. The doctor is now contemplating Taxol + Iressa. (My mother's tumor has not been tested for EGFR) Do you have any thoughts pertaining to this combo? Would it be more useful to use Abraxane since my mother has already seen taxol?
Avatar f tn If you are having a problem with your foods and controlling the sugar levels, it would be helpful for you to see a diabetic nurse or a diabetic dietician. High sugar levels in the blood will cause vision problems and can also lead to damage in the eyes called diabetic retinopathy that could lead to blindness - hence it is important to have your eyes screened every year. Having a check up with regard to vision is not the same as diabetic eye screening.
Avatar f tn You don't say how long she has been type 2 diabetic. If it has been many years, then, yes, it is probably time for her to go on insulin. But she should not continue on with her blood sugar out of control, but should see her doctor right away to talk about whether other meds would help or insulin is called for. Sustained high blood sugar can have seious complications.
