Avatar f tn If you notice that eating a few pieces of orange makes the shakes go away, then you likely have developing diabetes. Which means blood sugar went too low and eating the orange restored sugar levels. Other symptoms include frequent urination and great thirst, among others.
Avatar f tn t know much about diabetes, but I would get her to the hospital. Hope everything turns out well!
Avatar m tn He should talk to a doctor to find out if it's a sign of diabetes or not. I know the artificial sweetener in diet sodas has other issues of its own. It's plausible-sounding that it could be diabetes or maybe some kind of kidney issue.
Avatar f tn We have a seperate forum for Diabetes type 2 and Diabetes prevention. Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed, leading to high glucose levels in the blood and resulting in impaired metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It's sometimes referred to as insulin dependent diabetes.

Avatar m tn your dear kitty needs to see a Vet asap....this sounds very much like CRF (chronic renal failure...kidneys) OR diabetes.... she is most likely in alot of discomfort, please don't wait....these symptoms are very serious.
Avatar f tn Diabetes is a disease that damages your blood vessels. First and foremost, you need to keep your diabetes under control. When was your last HgbA1C? What were the results? If you are overweight, lose weight. It will help both your diabetes and the erectile dysfunction. Likewise, if you smoke, quit. Nicotine causes your blood vessels to constriction and stay constricted for hours after your smoke a cigarette.
Avatar n tn Either you are about to break into viral fever or you have hypothyroidism, diabetes, VIT B12 deficiency or you have not been eating properly and hence have hypoglycemia attacks. Eat well, drink plenty of fluids and get these disorders tested. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
Avatar m tn Another reason for getting up a few times to empty the bladder due to diabetes. A blood HbA1C blood test would confirm whether you have diabetes.
Avatar m tn Alot of people think that diabetes is like a death sentence, but I have been living with diabetes for a few years now and I have not gained any more complications than when I was first diagnosed. I eat regularly and following the advice of my diabetes educator with my meds and regular exercise I am doing great.
Avatar m tn Parasthesia is due to dysfunctioning of neurons. It can be due to diabetes, hypothyroidism, peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, neujrological causes or malnutrition. Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist then get the above mentioned possibilities ruled out from a neurologist.
Avatar f tn I would suggest you seek a so-called wound-care center or wound-care specialist. You can find one by contacting a specialist in diabetes. As soon as possible. Do not get "put off". There is a likelihood that you may require hospitalization and intravenous medications. You are a candidate for an emergency room in a teaching hospital.
Avatar m tn This morning, I received unprotected oral from a girl I have been seeing for a few weeks. She was very aggressive and her teeth irritated my penis. After the experience, my penis had 2 bruises because of the teeth action. 2 hours later and with the bruises still fresh, she performed unprotected oral and we had protected intercourse. While she isn't a prostitute, she is still a high risk for STD's as she is a closet heroin user.
Avatar n tn Hi, He should see a physician. It may be a problem with the blood circulatory system or neurology related. Diabetes also can lead to such symptoms.
Avatar m tn Within the past 2 weeks, I have been having regular sex with a young 20 year old female. Although she is not necessarily a prostitute, she does come by quite often and asks for money to "get well". I am obviously assuming that she is using some type of drugs. She seems very clean and comes from a good family and insists that she only has 2 sex partners and that she never failed to use protection.
Avatar n tn They can be seen in peripheral neuropathies of diabetes, in hyperthyroidism, parasomnia, multiple sclerosis, TIAs or transient ischemic attacks or mini strokes, hypoglycemia, disorders of calcium metabolism, hyperparathyroidism etc. Certain epilepsies too could be the cause. Consult an internal medicine specialist or your PCP. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.

Avatar m tn I tested for STD'S this morning using a swab and after 20 minutes, the doctor told me that initial tests were negative for all STD's and that the results will be sent to the lab for further results and final outcome will be available in a week. How accurate are the initial results (using the swab) and what are the odds that the lab results are different from the initial results.
Avatar f tn Get yourself investigated for anemia, hypothyroidism and diabetes and if you are overweight, start an exercise regimen you can stick to. PCOS is another condition which can cause similar symptoms. If all these are normal, then possibility of anxiety and depression will need to be looked at. Hope this helps. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining.
Avatar m tn I am sexually active with different partners. I have always used condoms for vaginal sex but never for oral sex. Unfortunately, 8 months ago, my condom broke as I was having sex and realized it about 20 seconds after breakage. Now for about 2 months, 2 red dots (a little bumpy) appeared on the shaft of my penis (right below the ring). Since I have had them, they haven't changed in size, they are painless and don't seem to contain any fluid. Is this a sign that have herpes?
Avatar n tn Hi, He has to defenitely see a doctor, losing 29 pounds with out any specific reason implies some serious health issue, possibly diabetes, or may be some other disease.
Avatar m tn After a bar date, I performed oral sex for about 15 seconds (about 4 licks) and discovered a bump/bruise on the top of her vagina. I immediately stopped, asked her what it was and she got offended and said it was due to shaving. I was a bit skeptical. A few minutes later, she gave me unprotected oral for about 1 minute and we had protected intercourse. Do I have any risks of contracting herpes if, in fact, her bump is a genital STD? Thanks.
