diabetes blood electrolytes

forgive me for being alittle vague. Doc called me back on some blood work, specifically Electrolytes and said that they were a little high in the kidney and liver, 120 (where the reference range was 117.) He want's to test again in a month, didn't seem to worried and now am wondering if I should be worried? I also came back slightly Thyroid hyperactive. I was hypo then stopped doing the meds for over two months. Doc thinks it could be an infection that cause me to go hypo then hyper.

I know I am not suppposed to drink alcholol anymore and my balance is way off. Will i ever return to normal? My last blood work done two weeks ago showed everything normal except high cholestrol which im taking a medication for now.

It could be your electrolytes (Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium); low blood sugar; low blood pressure; dehydration; etc. I used to get this a lot when I was eating and drinking infrequently and of poor quality.

Hello, Executive blood panel includes complete blood count, thyroid panel test, heart profile, liver function tests, kidney function tests minerals and bone panel, fluids and electrolytes and diabetes check. It rules out most of the diseases but sometimes for specific diseases like autoimmune, viral, liver diseases and heart diseases sometimes for pinpointing the diagnosis, you need to get certain other investigations done. I sincerely hope that helps.

probably between 1 1/2 g - 2g of water a day...been tested for diabetes, electrolytes, all AI stuff, 20 chem panel; potassium, magnesium, calcium etc... many times over the past 2 years since my problems started. My sodium was low once at 135, then rechecked at 2 wks and was back at 137 (normal) and has been 136 or 137 each other time, everything else completely normal. My arms!

should I worry about flushing out electrolytes? what other sources contain them ? I dont like gatorade uuhhhh !! I also have 1 soda ,8 ozs of juice & 1 or 2 teas per day .what do you think folks ?

You need to consult a physician for detailed systemic evaluation and run certain blood tests like complete blood counts, blood sugar, urea and electrolytes, vitamin B12 levels, TSH and electrophoresis. These should help in arriving at a probable diagnosis and appropriate management. Wish you all the best.

Justafriend has an excellent idea about low blood sugar as well- you might ask your doctor about a fasting blood sugar test and also, a diabetes blood test called HgA1c, a test which gives the doctor a picture of how your blood sugar has been doing for the last three months, I believe.

A low blood sugar when you are not on diabetes medication does not indicate diabetes. In untreated diabetes the blood sugar level is high. The cholesterol could be high due to a metabolic disorder or due to your eating habits. You need to eat a balanced diet with right proportion of all ingredients like carbohydrates, fats, proteins and vitamins. Also the meals need to be taken at regular intervals.

I think that you should keep in mind that hydrating is great but it also makes you pee out most of the minerals and electrolytes in your blood, so drink up to 2 L's a day but make sure that you are eating a balanced diet regualrly so you maintain your minerals.

The symptoms include temporary loss of sensation in any part of the body, black outs, vision loss, tingling, loss of function of a limb etc. It is common in people with high blood pressure, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and high cholesterol. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Consult a physician to begin with who can assess these symptoms and rule out causes. Certain blood tests like electrolytes and blood sugar, MRI spine to check the disc and any bony spurs etc. hope this helps. Take care.

This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.

We usually unconsciously assume positions during sleep that may lead to some nerves being compressed. Other not so common causes include problems with electrolytes especially potassium and calcium. If the symptoms worsen, I suggest that you have this looked at by your doctor. For now, avoid too much stress and have adequate rest. Regards.

You have to make a special effort to remain hydrated and drink 32 ounces of fluid per day religiously, including electrolytes, eithern from Gatorade or powdered drink mix containing electrolytes. In rare cases there is a failure of the muscles surrounding the blood vessels in the legs to compress rapidly when one stands. This is a symptom of certain neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's, however I don't think that is the problem.

Confusing for those of us that are Adults with Type 1 !!!! I suggest changing headings to Diabetes - Type 1 (Juvenile)and Diabetes Type 2 (Adult) as they are more appropriately named. I just looked under D for diabetes and only saw Type 2 Forum. Just a symantics thing I guess - most people do not look under J for Diabetes info. Anyway here is the question... I am a 43 yr old Type 1 diabetic diagnosed about 5 yrs ago. I currently exercise for 1 hour 3 x week. Running.

The higher heart rate is usually compensatory, maintaining oxygenation with a depleted blood volume. The alligator-in-the-bathtub question is why you are dehydrated? Diabetes is one possibility. Anemia can be a contributing cause. You need to get a hematocrit. As Drnee stated, your blood pressure is a tad low, but not anything to go to general quarters about.

I have been feeling dizzy and sleepy for the past few days and I went to see the doctor and I was diagonized with a Low Blood Pressure,he said my body lacks salt. I have been stressing out a lot in the previous three months,could the stress be the cause of my illness?

If you are younger than the middle years, then perhaps it could be a result of damage to blood vessels because of diabetes not properly controlled. Normally, neuropathy is noticed with tingling or burning sensations in feet, and this is what most diabetics look out for and fear. However, diabetes can be very damaging to small blood vessels when glucose is high for long periods of time, and this could affect the circulation in your lower legs and feet.

Have you been diagnosed for diabetes and are you medicated for it? Untreated diabetes leads to the classic excessive liquid consumption as a symptom. CAUTION: Too much water drinking can be fatal (through flushing out the body's essential electrolytes, needed for heart function). Two to four quarts is probably safe enough for anyone imo. But eight quarts is sounding too high, without at least some regular electrolyte replenishment.

Are you Diabetic? Low blood sugar? That would be my first guess. Could be so many things including an electrolyte imbalance and thyroid function and adrenal problems. So I think you should see a dr and have some tests done if this is an ongoing problem. If your just having this right now for the first time and it is low blood sugar you should have some juice and some complex carbs. If you feel better it probably was low blood sugar. But you should still see a dr.
