glucose

Avatar m tn So it can be done two days consecutively but with a life-threatening warning? How many percentage does this acute renal failure happening after ESWL for 2 days consecutively?
Avatar m tn Also triglycerides very high, 600s, for a while now. Chronic renal disease, but stable, Any ideas or recs.? Is it better to go insulin route? I am worried about hypoglycemia, as his mobility is limited.
Avatar f tn The previous guidelines set the threshold at 140/90 mm Hg for people younger than age 65 and 150/80 mm Hg for those ages 65 and older." It goes on to say why they made the change to seniors needing to have lower numbers. Normal is less than 120 for everyone now.
1085545 tn?1284042254 On Jan 9, suggestions were provided to your first post, which by the way, you never acknowledged. Have you taken them under consideration or even followed through with them? If not why not? If you did, post the test & MRI results. And, how are your blood glucose levels - fasting [prandial] and after meal [postprandial]? Do you know and/or have your A1c test result? Please answer ALL the above so we can continue.
Avatar n tn My fasting insulin results are 5 uIU/mL. My glucose numbers peak in 45 minutes at 120 mg/dL and then drop although they rarely go below 65 mg/dL. My headache / glucose threshold is between 70 and 80 mg/dL. Is this something to be concerned about?
Avatar f tn s disease, and sick sinus syndrome with a pacemaker, mild to moderate dementia, and other than that no other problems. No renal failure. He goes to a senior center for people with mild to moderate dementia 3 days a week from 10:15am to 4:00pm and gets up between 8 and 8:30 on those days, I let him sleep until 11:30 or noon the other days unless he has a doctors appt. so I don't know if those 3 days a the senior center wears him out or if it has nothing to do with it.
Avatar f tn Your numbers are what "they" call PRE-diabetes. Many of us dont believe in PRE your diabetic... your pancreas is still working a little. now is the time start controlling your blood sugars (BG ) so you dont develop the complications that go along with high BG. The distinction between pre-diabetes and diabetes is a line drawn in the sand. "They" have been moving the line, lowering the number for the threshold.
Avatar m tn Hi I think you may be right. I would talk to her doctor as it does sound like the metformin dose she is on is too much. I recently had to have mine reduced because my A1C had gone down to 4.9 While 6 is very good for a diabetic. my Dad who is in his 70's is only required to keep his A1C under 7.
Avatar f tn I went in for a regular checkup, because I have frequent urination and thirst. The doctor checked my sugar levels through urine and then she told the medical assistant to do it with blood. While I was in the room with the medical assistant, she told me the doctor want her to check my blood because I have high glucose levels in my urine. She said I could be pre- diabetic and etc. So when the doctor came in she said your blood is good.
Avatar f tn hello thank you for the message i am glad to hear it means there function is good. this is what i read in my medical book as well. i also read somewhere that low creatinine is found in the elderly with low muscle mass?
Avatar m tn Kidney failure has been associated with uncontrolled and badly managed glucose levels. It would benefit you the most if you lowered your glucose levels to normal values. Your current glucose daily average - based upon your A1c 9.9% - is between 11.8-13.3 mmol/l [212-240 mg/dl]. HIGH. Foods? Look at diabetic nutrition and perform daily physical exercises. See this link, especially the paragraph on GFR http://www.kidney.org/kidneydisease/ckd/knowGFR.
188761 tn?1584567620 I have already consulted my primary care about this today about 3 hours back and he has recommended a urine sugar test as the glucose level in her blood is not very high but pretty much in control. However, slightly above the diabetes benchmark. But, the glucose level in her urine is high and it shows some thing like "++++" on her reports. I am very concerned if it has some thing to do with the end stage renal disease / Kidney failure. My question to you is - 1.
Avatar f tn People with normal kidneys and normal glucose metabolism do not have glucose in their urine (they may have 1+ immediately after a high carb meal). Albumin +1 Urine protein results always must be interpreted in conjunction with specific gravity. A small amount of protein normally is present in urine and may be detected in concentrated urine. Many false positive protein tests occur, especially with alkaline urine. The protein test detects mainly albumin.
Avatar n tn Can chronic prescribed use of lithium carbonate in an 85 year old elderly patient being treated for bi-polar disorder/depression for past five years coupled with recent prescription of coumadin (within the past 2 months) cause lithium toxicity manifested by delirium symptoms in the elderly patient, as well as very low heart rate?
Avatar f tn i am female, 62 yrs old, my glucose is 122, my cretinine is 1.7, my bun is normal, i just found out, i take meds for hypertension & glucose. how can i reduce glucose & cretinine & is 1.7 cretinine dangerous ?
2030686 tn?1351688548 I remember the gastro saying I needed to be seizure free for so long b4 I can tx. Does anybody know why this is? Will the medications lower my seizure threshold even more? My reg dr put in a call to the neuro after I had a few seizures this weekend and she put me on Keppra.
Avatar f tn This often times happens when Metformin is combined with other diabetes medications, and is more common in elderly folks or folks with internal organ issues. Low glucose also can happen when fasting before surgery or a blood test/s and after lengthy exercise. You should notify your doctor of your low glucose experiences ASAP. Ask your doctor how to adjust your Metformin dose if needed. Do not change your medication dose or schedule without your doctor's advice.
863754 tn?1239144755 My aunt is in the hospital, as I type this, fighting to stay alive. After speaking with the doctors about her condition, I've discovered that they have absolutely no idea why she's dying. I'm posting here in the hopes of saving her life. For some reason, her blood glucose levels won't stabilize. They'll give her a shot of glucose to get her levels up, but in the matter of a few hours, it's back down to around 50 or 60 and they have to give her another shot.
Avatar n tn , brain cells start dying off. 40 degrees for elderly people is dangerous as they lack the physical reserves to cope for any extended time. High fever burns up their glucose stores (calories), then they start burning up their muscles for energy to stay alive. I'm not a doctor either, but trying to understand the implications a fixed pulse rate had for this person.
Avatar m tn So my doctor puts me on metformin 500 mg for twice a day (I was also ordered to only take 1 a day for the first two weeks). He also gave me a glucose meter. A few days later I find that I am having the easiest time in the world keeping my numbers in the normal range (at this time I had not started metformin). When I started metformin, I had an adverse reaction and was ordered to stop.
