diabetic ulcer symptoms

Hello, In my earlier post,I have mentioned some of the common causes of vomitings and nausea.As you have mentioned that your husband is a type-I diabetic,so possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis may be there.It is a state of absolute or relative insulin deficiency aggravated by ensuing hyperglycemia, dehydration, and acidosis-producing derangements in intermediary metabolism. http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic135.htm Did your husband get evaluated for his blood sugar levels in the ER.

Can anyone tell me what the symptoms of an ulcer are? I mean, like a serious ulcer. Stomach has been hurting pretty bad for two weeks. Really bad the past few days. Throwing up, some blood there. Can't keep food down. Don't have any health insurance. Is there anything I can take or do that will help?! Many thanks.

Diabetes may be associated with increased susceptibility to infections and reduced healing power and in a few cases may be associated with neuropathy and decreased vascularity that could lead to the formation of a diabetic ulcer. Management of a diabetic ulcer would involve adequate control of blood sugar level, prevention of further trauma/ extension and appropriate antibiotics in the situation of an infection.

Dear doctor In your earlier post, you mentioned that I won't need to worry about HIV. Today is day 43 and I now have a slightly inflamed throat and swollen lumpy nodes in the neck. I also think I have been having night sweats off and on. Probably 3 to 4 nights. Are these possibly symptoms of HIV infection? Please advice as I'm very afraid right now. Thanks. Plus I have lost some weight i.e. Probably about 3 kgs in the last 41 days.

My gynae put me on Glucophage a little bit more then a month ago, but it couldnt be that as these symptoms have only started in the past week. I am also frequently going to the loo ( for a no2 ) shortly after every meal... My GP has checked for viruses and so on through blood tests and he says everything looks good and I'm healthy. I have also done 2 pregnancy tests and they show negative. I also feel drained and absolutely fatigued, as if I can sleep for hours on end. Please help!

It seems like that you should consult a doctor for your blood test (especially sugar for diabetes) and neurological assessment. Diabetes in long run is associated with diabetic retinopathy (gradual loss of vision), diabetic neuropathy (numbness in extremities) and sometimes teeth loss. However, few neurological or different medical conditions may relate to few symptoms. Please consult a doctor at your earliest convenience. Hope this helps.

m trying to self-treat to avoid incurring any additional debt. Based on these symptoms, does it sound like gastritis or an ulcer, or something else? If I were to go to a gastroenterologist, what tests would s/he likely need to run in order to determine the source of the problem, and how expensive would those tests be? Thank you.

I forgot to mention that I had dry mouth last week and had an ulcer on my tongue. Btw, i forgot to mention that im a diabetic. Would that make a difference? Sorry would appreciate it if you could reply to me as im really worried rite now.

Can a steel toe show cause a blister or ulcer to a diabetic person? what can cause a blister to a diabetics feet. Can a diabetic person performing repetetive squating and using a standng forklift for long periods of time cause the foot to blister?

Stable glicemic index with an ulcer on diabetic foot but today this white goo apperead inside the ulcer. Someone knows what should I do as it's very complicated to make an earlier appointment with my doctor.

The doctor in question is a Gastroenterologist and I started seeing him due to stomach problems. I have been told that I have Gastritis, Peptic Ulcer, Gastroparesis (I am also diabetic).....but never a true diagnosis as of yet. These problems have been occurring off and on for the past 4 years. I have had 2 endoscopies, a colonoscopy, MRI's, CAT scans and they have not found anything.

I saw a doctor in regards to the ulcer on my hand. He told me that it wasn't herpes. Thank god. Mine definately didn't have blisters prior to the tiny ulcer but I hope his diagnosis is correct.

Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be a blood blister or a diabetic foot ulcer. It is a type of blister that forms when subdermal tissues and blood vessels are damaged without piercing the skin.Elevate the foot,give rest to the part,apply cold compresses,soak the blister in Epsom sale and keep the foot bandaged so as to avoid its rupture. If the blister breaks, quickly rinse the area and apply an antiseptic such as neosporin.

Btw, now my arm hurts and im unsure what the cause is. Also i feel like im coming down with a cold. Could these be symptoms?

For the last 5 yrs ive had ulcer like symptoms.. Two scopes later, both negative and Im still experiencing extreme pain when my stomach is empty... I had the last scope about a year ago and he did happen to mention that i had excess bile... He had to suction it out before he could even look at my stomach....One of the Drs i work with mentioned dumping syndrome, i have some reflux but its not bad... just extreme pain in my stomach when its empty... Ive been on carafate and prevacid etc..

This is likely to be an ulcer with granulation formation. Management in such a situation is best discussed with his treating doctor and may consist appropriate measures of infection control such as antibiotics, debriment etc and control of blood sugar levels. Hope this helps. Take care!

No worries there. your symptoms are not suggestive of HIV since there are no specific HIV symptoms. In any event, you don't diagnose HIV by symptoms. Your risk is too low to even measure. You are fine. Whatever is troubling you has nothing to do with HIV. Please continue to use condoms for anal/vaginal intercourse and you can fully expect to avoid HIV infection.

If this is a diabetic food ulcer, which happens to about 15 percent of people with diabetes, you need to make sure to care for it properly. https://www.apma.org/diabeticwoundcare Pressure, trauma, irritation to the skin, etc. can end up being a serious problem with someone that has diabetes and especially insulin dependent diabetes. Here's another article talking about it. https://www.webmd.

Hi, this may or may not be true w/ your cat, but we had a cat that became a diabetic because of the steroid drug she was put on for some colon issues. I know that sometimes vets will use this drug to treat cancer in our cats, too. So, if your cat has been given a steroid drug, either by injection or pill, then this could very well be the cause of her diabetes. And, as soon as this drug is stopped, so will the diabetes. Best wishes to you. I know first hand how tough your situation is.
