Avatar n tn Londres is certainly correct that there are a few other options available to treat what could be assumed to be familial hypercholesterolaemia, even though your doctor has obviously tried those that would be most obvious. Generally, if you experience muscle weakness as a side effect of Lipitor (atorvastatin), other statins will produce similar effects, so that eliminates the use of Zocor (simvastatin), Crestor (rosuvastatin) etc.
Avatar f tn s complications such as pancreatic insufficiency, for which I take Creon enzymes with each meal, and Colesevelam for bile salts. We cannot prescribe any drugs as a lot of them are toxic, and can only be prescribed by a Gastroenterologist. I would suggest you have a consultation with your own gastro and heed his advice - they are the experts, not us! Take care, Liz.

Avatar f tn HBA1C measures average blood sugar over the past 3 months. It can be a useful screening test and for monitoring diabetes progress / progression. However, it can also be misleading as highs and lows can average out to give something that looks normal, but actually isn't. Fasting and 2 h ours post eating are also useful and can guide diet and treatment on a day to day basis. If you are diabetic both fasting, post prandial and HBA1C are useful to be monitored.
Avatar m tn Hello, Your diabetes 2 is worsening over the years, 20 years, it is common, my friend. Why? because your doctors conviniently not to mention to you that all oral diabetes medicines, including Metformin, only works for some years and even expensive and painful Insulin dosage will loose their effectiveness over the years.Now, to save yourself from this horrible disease, immediately reduce your carb to (6,12,12). Read this book : Diabetes Solutions by DR.

2037150 tn?1329659710 Well, my cousin (who will not be named) has type two diabetes. She's gotten into things she really shouldn't have (smoking, alcohal, ect.) and I am worried about her health. Is she going to be alright is these actions continue?
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 weeks ago. The Dr. prescribed metformin. I asked for a referral to an endocrinologist since I have an autoimmune disease (Stiff person syndrome + not overweight, normal blood pressure and choloesterol is normal). They said they would refer me to an endocrinologist. 6 days later hadn't heard anythoing from an endocrinoligst so called the Dr.'s office and they resent the referal. Week later still haven't heard anything from an endocrinologist.
Avatar f tn Honestly dont be nervous. Gestational diabetes is pretty common. Just watch the amount of carbohydrates in your meals. Keep them low usually under a total of 60g for breakfast and dinner and under 45g for lunch. Keep snacks to no carbs at all. Cheeses are great. Cut the soda and sugary food back and you should do just fine. Im a type 1 diabetic for 13 years. Talk to your doc about it. Its not that bad when its just the gestational diabetes.
Avatar n tn Hi all im almost 13weeks pregnant i have diabetes that was badly controlled at the point of conception.docs are worried about baby noy responding to inculin as i get closer to due date. My last child i didnt know i was a diabetic untill half way through pregnancy.she was 5 weeks early due to stopping growing which was caused by the medication im worried i will have to have this one so much earlyer than that as iv been on inculin from the start this time.

Avatar f tn ve got gestational diabetes. Does anyone else have this and how did you control it? And what sort of things happen now? I haven't been told anything and I don't have an appointment with the clinic for a while yet.
Avatar f tn So I read today that diabetes can cause birth defects. Any moms have diabetes before getting pregnant? Any advice not to be nervous.
Avatar f tn My doctor confirmed that I have gestational diabetes. I am 29 weeks and very upset. I didn't have to go through this with my first pregnancy. Not sure what to expect. I have additional testing and office visits. Does anyone have any experience that they can share in what to expect for the remainder if the pregnancy?

Like i said before im 27 and my belly mesured 30 week im goin to do my best so everything go well...Ugh but its so complicated!!
Avatar f tn Has anyone been diagnosed with diabetes at 13 weeks? I was today and am devastated. My doctor tested me earlier than usual but didn't say why (at the time I didn't know she was testing early but after researching it your usually tested at 24wks.
Avatar f tn Hey moms, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes early last year. I'm 10w 2d and was just curious if there were any other type 2 moms out there. Would love some support from others.
Avatar m tn Diabetes is a condition where your body cannot control its blood sugar (BG) the ONLY way to tell is to test your BG. any clinic and even some pharmacys can test your BG.
Avatar f tn Is there anything I should avoid completely or watch out for? I have heard alot of horror stories with diabetes and pregnancy so please don't post with those, I am stressed enough as it is.
