1281603 tn?1283798699 I would like to add to that advice that diabetic complications are very real and to encourage everyone diagnosed with either form of diabetes or even pre-diabetes to take responsibility to monitor and control your blood sugars on a daily basis. We tend to trust doctors to keep us well and especially here in the U.S. we rely on medication for EVERYTHING. No doctor can follow us around 24/7 and make sure we eat right, exercise, maintain healthy weight and take the meds they actually prescribe.
Avatar f tn s age, but reasons could include diabetes with uncontrolled glucose, onset of nuclear cataracts, and degenerative myopia with progressive axial growth of the eye and retinal degeneration. Your sister should see an ophthalmologist for a complete exam, including dilation. She may also need to see a retinal specialist.
Avatar n tn Go to the nearest ER. The doctor should look at the wound, treat it, then run tests to check for parasites. He/she should also start your bf on antibiotics. As troy stated, this is a diabetic forum. I replied because years ago I got a parasite infection from a nick while in CR.
Avatar f tn pdf Many users here would gladly trade places with you because they already have cataracts, macular degeneration, uveitis, retinal bleeding from diabetic retinopathy (smoking doubles the risk of diabetes). Lots of people develop these diseases even though they do not smoke. There is often no reason why these problems arise in patients and severely affect their eyesight.

Avatar n tn Your mother requires evaluation by a wound-care specialist, commonly associated with diabetic clinics. As soon as possible. As of yesterday. Leg wounds that won't heal are common in diabetics (as well as the elderly with compromised micro-circulation) and require a lot of professional attention. The avergae GP is above his pay grade in treating these. There are various approaches, the most recent and (non-approved) is the use of a nicotine patch or smoking a cigarette or two a day.

558301 tn?1215730856 Sorry, I didn't know the health care situation; your story makes me feel VERY fortunate indeed. I'm so happy she got along well and especially that you two were there for her. Now you know why I am so against the "drive thru" mastectomies that are being done these days in some areas. It's wonderful that she wants to be up and around. I'm guessing that she had removal of a number of lymph nodes in the axillary area ....

1794671 tn?1338795391 Some primary care doctors are not comfortable prescribing anything when someone is pregnant. I had a primary care that would not order an ultrasound of my heart when I was pregnant with my last baby. At the time, my insurance restrictions made it impossible for my OB-GYN to order the test. It was very frustrating, and as soon as my insurance changed, I switched to a new primary care. Talk to your OB-GYN ASAP. You need to make sure your diabetes is under control.

Avatar m tn http://www.ncpa.org/pub/ba649 So my brother in law sends me some canned crap about health care. Him being a senior citizen, the future of health care means a lot to him. Since he can't make heads or tails out of Universal Health Care, he's taken to trying to find everything he can regarding universal health care. The email he sent me had statistics on hip replacement, cancer survival, cancer treatments and how many MRI machines per 1000 people in each country.
Avatar n tn Currently manufacturers of skin products have been trying to provide a wide array of skin care products to suit each skin type. For an individual to get the best skin care, one should follow a particular regimen of cleansing, toning , exfoliating and moisturizing. As one grows older however, exfoliation may damage the thinning skin. Cleansing and moisturizing are still essential as one ages. The use of sunscreen for the face is still a must.
