Avatar m tn I am trying to get something in writing to show that this decision does not follow within the accepted guidelines for treatment of his form of Hepititis. I believe the Dr. in Az. may have made this decision not realizing he did not have a 12 week blood sample. My son is 43 years old and in otherwise good health. He has not had any symptoms of Hep C nor has he had any side effects from the treatments.
Avatar n tn These symptoms are also experience by people with HCV who have not had treatment. See study by Daniel Forton et al 2001 - Evidence for a cerebral effect for the hepatitis C virus. (Lancet, Vol 358. pp38-39).
Avatar m tn In February, the Eighth Joint National Committee released controversial guidelines that relaxed blood pressure goals in adults 60 and older from 140/90 to 150/90. The guidelines also eased blood pressure targets for adults with diabetes and kidney disease. In this study, researchers used blood pressure data collected from more than 16,000 Americans between 2005 and 2010 to assess the impact of the revised guidelines.
Avatar m tn Not sure about you, but I think no sane doctor would put you on treatment against the guidelines based on this data. Probably better to hope for better drugs in the future than gambling with your health. Just my two cents.
Avatar f tn Every voice of dissent against their guidelines adds to the momentum for better care for all thyroid patients. I really appreciate you taking the time. Dear MedHelp members, if you have not added your voice to patient discontent and concern over the AACE focus on TSH as the only appropriate diagnostic tool and T4 as the appropriate treatment for hypothyroidism, please consider doing it if you have a Facebook account.
Avatar m tn Hi..my mum has liver cirrhosis for the past 30 years and she also has Diabetes Type 2. Our Local MO has recommended Galvus 50mg for diabetes medication. However, after further reading on the net I found that Galvus 50mg is not for liver patients.. the problem is I can't seem to find any suitable medication for her diabetes which would NOT effect her liver condition. I welcome any suggestion or recommendation from members and medical practitioners here please..
Avatar n tn t fast (have not eaten for 8 hours or more), you must had a random glucose test done. they do have guidelines to tell what number is high. if your glucose level came up to be a bit above normal then you might be considered prediabetic. prediabetes means you you have a chance of being diabetic if you didn't change your eating habits, exercise and so on. If you start to incorporate healthy lifestyles, then you would have a chance of being normal again. hope this helps!
Avatar f tn On one hand it appears that HCV increases the risk of diabetes (see study posted by Mike) but on the other hand it appears that the treatment for HCV (interferon) can also increase the risk. The latter statement (treatment for HCV can increase risk) is consistent with interferon's potential to activate autoimmune disorders in some cases. It is also consistent with what both my liver specialist (and Marcia's) said.
Avatar m tn Researchers have tried various drugs on people who do no need treatment (according to the latest guidelines) and discovered that the drugs do not help at all. That is why the latest guidelines recommend "no treatment" in many cases.
Avatar n tn No. HbA1C of 6.2% is well within the normal limits of all Diabetic association guidelines. Also Fasting Blood Sugar of 88mg/dL is normal. This is in case if he is not on any anti-diabetic medication. Otherwise I would call it well controlled Diabetes. Allthough an assessment if he has Pre-diabetes needs to be done by his body weight and OGTT test.
Avatar f tn according to their research, they are saying the standard treatment for hypo thyroid should be synthroid drugs, that they found none of the others work... well I was on synthroid for two years, it was not converting to t3... I felt horrible... then I asked my Dr. to put me on armour, and WOW it was like somebody turned on a light switch.. my thyroid panel levels all normal, feel like a million bucks.... So these new guidelines..
368646 tn?1208393887 Last year an AACE task force reviewed available data and current trends in practice, and updated the AACE Guidelines for Clinical Practice for the Evaluation and Treatment of Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism published in the November/December 2002 issue of Endocrine Practice. The task force also suggested that in patients on thyroxine replacement therapy, which is stated in the guidelines as "The target TSH level should be between 0.3 and 3.0 uIU/mL".
Avatar f tn I do hope that the treatment guidelines she was referring to were ILADS treatment guidelines. The IDSA guidelines leave way too many people sick.
Avatar f tn In 2008, the Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons released guidelines for the effective treatment of carpal tunnel. The recommendation was to try to manage carpal tunnel pain without surgery, if possible.
Avatar n tn A reading of 6.5 or higher is considered diabetes. Hope this helps. You seem fine by these guidelines.

Avatar n tn Doesn't Incevik have it's own guidelines for treatment? I'm not sure if it's fair to you to compare your results w/ SOC and apply that to your current treatment. I do hope the best outcome for you.

Avatar f tn However, this is a relative indication for chemotherapy, and not a strict indication. American guidelines strictly call for chemo in case of node positivity, and European guidelines if number of positive nodes are 4 or more. Please discuss the pros and cons with your oncologist. In your case, hormone or chemo are both reasonable. Please update me on the tumor grade and LVI as requested. All the Best, and God Bless!

Avatar m tn Especially when the findings of these diseases could considerbly lend earlier treatment for those possibly with diabetes, pregnant women with hypothyrodism, hashimoto's, and many other diseases. These deliberations should be in the betterment of the welfare towards these conditions, not limitations. Not to say anything about the thousands of us that suffer the debilitating symptoms of thyroidism.
159063 tn?1247272817 Metformin is used to help assist with controlling glucose levels as long as one is following the guidelines of diabetes control. Glucophage is the proper name for Metformin. The RX stands for extended release. In other words, its like time release where the medicine remains longer in the body. Lifestyle change is needed, not change of medicine. Good luck.
