Avatar n tn Been on januvia for a week. Blood sugar is not going below 120 ...and as high as 250. Was on glyburide. Had trouble with BS dropping as low as 40. Doc thought I would do better with this drug. I have only one kidney so was prescribed a 50mg dose. Will it regulate after I have been on for awhile?
Avatar f tn I have been on Metformin, Januvia and Glimeperide for a few years. They are not controlling my diabetes. She wanted me to try Victoza and give up the Januvia. I got over fear of giving myself the shot, but on the 3rd day I began to get sick. On the 4th and 5th days I couldn't even go to work. Changed shot to before bed instead of morning and it made no difference. After a little over a week I stopped it. Lost 5 lbs cause I couldn't eat anything.

Avatar f tn Hi, My dad (78 years old) is on dialysis since last year due to kidney failure, on top of that he has a Coronary Heart Disease since 2000, so he is on meds. He does 3x a week then reduce to 2x week dialysis. Since last July of this year my dad has been experiencing too much weakness than normal. He can barely walk anymore. Then, he started having too low BP after each dialysis to the point that he passes out & sometimes get stiff.
Avatar n tn Kidney dialysis can lower the blood pressure causing problems with the heart. If the blood pressure drops too far, the liver shuts down due to the heart not pumping properly. If the kidney dialysis is not started, the failing kidneys will make the heart worse. If the kidney dialysis is started, it could prove fatal. Kidney dialysis can do done in hope that it will not drop the blood pressure down too far. If the kidney dialysis is not done, the heart will suffer.

Avatar n tn My husband has been on dialysis for the past .8 months and his health has been fine. But now his last test showed a creatinine level of 16. What could this be from? I am really worried.
Avatar f tn I'm sure you are worried. Trust your doctors. I don't think dialysis hurts. My niece has been on dialysis for nearly 10 years now. She is on a transplant list, but she has a rare blood and it is taking awhile to get a kidney, but she has a job, she has 4 kids, a husband, and her spirits are high. Dialysis does not need to interupt your life. Just don't let it. I asked my niece how she feels after she has dialysis and she said it gives her energy, takes away the tiredness.
Avatar f tn You probably have done nothing to cause the positive Hep C antibodies ther than kidney dialysis. . The dialysis machines can cross infect people with the Hep C virus.

Avatar m tn i am losing my insurance so i cant take januvia. What should i take?
Avatar m tn My friend Nory needs help to pay for her dialysis 2X a week. I have been paying it for her in hopes of some charity helping; but so far only PSC has offered any assistance & it is minimal. I have written 100's of letters to many religious & charitable organizations and no luck so far. If anyone knows of a charity that has helped please let us know. I haven't the finances to keep doing this uch longer & she will die. :( Please Help Save Nory's Life!!!
Avatar f tn My niece (her daughter) said that as the time got closer to her needing dialysis, she became more and more confused and then after dialysis, became clear headed again. We do understand this is due to the toxins building and then dialysis cleaning the blood. Approximately 10 days ago, she decided to discontinue dialysis and went home with hospice. Her last dialysis was 2 weeks ago today. My niece says that she’s been extremely confused and making no sense at all.
