6452556 tn?1381422100 The body turns carbohydrates to Blood Sugar (BG) insulin helps get the BG into the cells of your body where they use it for energy. and store excess energy as fat. Diabetics dont make enough or cant use the insulin we make, by taking Glyburide it forces the pancreas to make more insulin. This allows the cells to use the BG and store more BG as fat thereby lowering BG.
Tbd Hello and welcome to the forum. It would be a good idea to report the sweating to your doctor. Is this new? Sweating is actually a symptom of diabetes. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317366.php People can sweat when their blood sugar gets too low and perhaps the medication caused this or people can sweat when there is damage to their nervous system from blood sugars that have been too high.
Avatar m tn Of the total number of subjects [N=3884] in Phase II and III clinical studies of Sitagliptin, 725 patients were 65 years and over, while 61 patients were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between subjects 65 years and over and younger subjects. While this and other clinical experience have not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avatar m tn Statin drugs are not well proven for women, and may contribute to the insulin resistance. Weight loss and very low carb diet may result in independent improvements in lipid profile.
Avatar f tn taking diamicron MR in the morning and lunch and have insulin injection in evening .The reason she has to have insulin injection is that all other drugs upset her stomuch ( except diamicron MR ) .Doctor has prescribed her with Amaryl ,Glucophage ,Glucobay ,but they upset her stomuch .Although she take it after meal but she still have stomuch pain .So I want to ask what diabet drugs that don’t upset stomuch (because she hate to take insulin injection ).

183933 tn?1290216962 Coustan outlined the guiding principles that any clinician should consider before using pharmacological agents in pregnancy. Safety for mother and fetus are paramount, and the benefits must obviously outweigh the risks. A key consideration is whether the substance crosses the placenta and, if it crosses, whether it will harm the fetus. Insomuch as oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) can normalize the hyperglycemia that harms the fetus, they must be beneficial.
Avatar f tn of course you can weight untill you go blind OR you can take the bull by the horns and lower your BG by diet ( eating LCHF) and exercise.
394687 tn?1290920840 Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. Unlike sulfonylureas, Metformin does not produce hypoglycemia in either patients with type 2 diabetes or normal subjects (except in special circumstances, see PRECAUTIONS) and does not cause hyperinsulinemia.
1972385 tn?1343827076 Also I have had bad anal problems.I found that eating fiber and keeping the anus clean with baby wipes and using Pramasome cream helps.The itching problem has been in my legs,so I keep them shaved.Sorry for those who experience head itch.I would think it is from dry scalp.I do find my hair is a lot more dirtier on these drugs.I have to shampoo often.
Avatar n tn My son 15, had hives last week. Severe hives moving from one part of his body to another. He was on a medication just prior to this called Solodyn (for acne). (We stopped the Solodyn about a week ago when the rash first appeared.) The doctors aren't sure if that is what triggered this. The hives a week later have slowed up but we are now having severe joint pain. The joint pain also moves daily from one area of his body to the other.
Avatar m tn Yes it's true - I'm really reaching some kind of edge again. even considered checking out this retreat but the cost was pro-hib-itive. Plus I don't really 100% believe their total philosophy, and I've already dealt with so much of what they talk about. I really do think my problems are bigger than just needing to find a life lesson, and "doing happy" etc. Lastly, I've given in - I'm sick of sleeping my life away so I've started taking....pseudoephidrine...
Avatar m tn I have been on a statin drug for about 15 years and ran for exercise until about 5 years ago and all I can conclude from my history is I have benefited from the statin drug via low cholesterol and not blockages and weight control and general high physical quality of life from the exercise. I'm 11 years younger than you, and I no longer run, but that is because of atrial fibrillation, not because of muscle damage due to anything other than age.
Avatar m tn I did touch her vagina (fingered) and afterwords put on the condom for protected sex. She did also stroke me penis a little and touched the tip and I think she touched her vagina before she did this. I developed burning with urination and red urethra within a day or two. I do recall that my urethra may have been a bit irritaded before i was with her but definarely not due to sexual activity.
Avatar f tn Thank you to everyone to is taking the time out to write me. YES, I deleted my contacts ph. # I am broke for right now anyway and my supplier is dry anyway (fate?) So, I know I have no way to get any even if I wanted to. I don't want to. I just want to feel better. My energy is not good and a little shaky. This ****** *****! I've been to NA (and will be going back, plus years of alanon), I know all the lingo etc. I just want a damn life. Or my damn life BEFORE opiates.
Avatar f tn Help...any advice? My newborn baby is an angel all day long sleeping/eating/being content and happy, and will take naps in his bassinet no problem. But at night he'll wake up to feed or be changed and will cry nonstop after when we try to out him back in his bassinet.
Avatar m tn When I was 16, I began experiencing dizzy spells and migraines. I had an MRI and was found to have white matter lesions. My neurologist shrugged it off, saying "migraine syndrome with aura," and m ENT said "probably BPPV." Since then, I've been able to control my symptoms with meclizine, high doses of ibuprofen, birth control (rule out hormonal migraines!) and, basically, a "positive state of mind.
Avatar f tn If the condom if hanging from the vagina after sex do you think the female can get pregnant and after sex and guys pulls out and condon janfong from vagina she runs to bathroom and pulls it out and know no show of period.
Avatar f tn I drank a big glass of that icky stuff and it fixed the problem! As for the cramps just relax and put on a heating pad and tell ur dr your symptoms tomorrow :) hope this helps good luck!
Avatar m tn I Believe smoking to certain people more than others can be a very harmful and as for me I exercise very steadily and sing and I do a lot of breath control exercises for my singing and play drums very hard and I still lightly smoke cigarette and sometimes while I am active I get a arrhythmia it lasts for 3 or 4 minutes I feel my heart is pounding so fast I could even feel my heart beat in my throat and sometimes I get a panic about it and that will make my heart even go faster but I notice that
