His weight stabilized and he was removed from the Metolazone, but he is a different human being now. He has become too weak to walk, and his thoughts are obviously clouded. His water weight is about at his normal set point and stable, and his oxygen saturation levels have been stable at 93 to 97. It's worth mentioning that he has a small patch of pneumonia on the lung and that this hasn't been cured for about three months now.
Two weeks ago, he gained water weight, and lasix did not work. The doctor prescribed Metolazone, a more powerful diuretic. This removed water, but from about 2 days after he started Metolazone, he began a downward spiral. He developed a potassium shortage, treated by a supplement. Metolazone was stopped, but he has become too weak to walk, and his thoughts are clouded. His water weight is normal.
s much appreciated he sees his GP weekly also has weekly bloods for kidney function and potassium he is also under the heart failure specialist who increased his spironolactone to 50 mg and said he could take a metolazone every second day if his weight was still going up he has done this once and his weight has gone down to 78 kg I have worked out if he has some salted peanuts small amount that this really improves things.
My husband also has CHF, Type 2 Diabetes, Stage 4 Kidney Disease and a defib-pacemaker. The past three weeks he has been coughing due to severe edema. His size 10 feet are in size 12 shoes. I cannot get both of my hands arounds the calves of his legs. His feet and legs look like they are going to burst. He went to the doctor last week and they increased his lasix - 160 mg twice a day. No change to the edema. He went back yesterday and they prescribed Metolazone (diuretic).
Then was given Cefuroxime, Linezolid antibiotic, corex syp and metolazone diuretics when partially conscious. He didnt eat much drank 50 ml water in last 14 hours and nothing after that. Later in the evening his oxygen was down to 70 SpO2. In 1.5 hours he was given oxygen with oxygen machine and the oxygen started to increase in a bit. In an hour heartrate started to fluctuate BP was almost NR. The patient suffered cardiac arrest few minutes later. The patient wasn't a major heart patient.
I need someone to explain the severity of this Echo report that was dated back to 07/19/2005 this report was not brought to my attention until August 11, 2008. Now 3 yrs have gone by, and I just had an EKG/Echo done 08/11/08 at my Doctors office which has been faxed to the cardiologist. I have an appointment Monday with the cardiologist.

Jen,
Hypoglycemia is not the same as diabetes, but they both have to do with insulin and blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes is different from Type 2, too.
As I understand hypoglycemia, it is the condition where a person produces TOO MUCH insulin in response to glucose.
Type 1 diabetes is often called Juvenile Diabetes because most folks with it are diagnosed before adulthood.
My internist told me its muscular neuropathy caused by diabetes. Put me on citalopram and painkillers. My 2HR glucose was 117 and after 2hrs 170 .generally my sugar level is higher above 150 at random. I still have under arm pain and thighs pain though it has lessened now. But when it returns ,I feel bouts of anxiety and stress. I'm not on diabetes treatment. I believe I had diabetes since long. I have lipomas, when they form I'm in extreme pain.
Congratulations on trying to conceive! I was being treated with Metformin for my diabetes risk and irregular cycles. For women, Metformin can also make them super fertile (odd side effect) while regulating blood sugars. I'm not familiar with men and fertility issues, so I did a quick search and found this:
Male Infertility & Diabetes
DCS: What about diabetes and infertility as it is related to males? Does it cause fertility issues in men, too?
Dr. Falcone: Yes.
But then, I manage and control my glucose levels carefully and live a healthy lifestyle. Quoting from an article on mismanaged diabetes, "Researchers believe that up to 50% of people with diabetes will experience some sort of sexual dysfunction at some point. But even if diabetes doesn’t directly cause sexual dysfunction, other diabetes-related health issues can influence your sexual desire and may be a threat to intimacy within a relationship.
Let me try and answer your questions about exercise and diabetes. I am not aware of any connection between the onset of diabetes and over-exertion. Exercise helps people with diabetes keep their blood sugar in good control and within a normal range. Glucose is used while exercising, which would lower the blood sugar level, not raise it. If you are predisposed to developing type 1 diabetes, no amount of exercise will change this.

It just gives me the munchies which is not good when you are counting carbs.
There are many risks in being an insulin dependant diabetic and getting pregnant but many women do it and have healthy babies (me being one!) Studies have shown that effective control of diabetes during the periconceptional period (refers to the period of time three months before pregnancy through the first three months of pregnancy) in women with diabetes reduces the risk for birth defects in their children.
well i got digestinal diabetes while pregnant and my question is after i have the baby how do i know if the diabetes goes away do u eat normally like u ate before and check ure sugars to see if your body responds or do u keep yourself on the diet u have been and for how long after, also what could happen if u eat sweets right after delivery (craving cheese cake and icescream for the longest time)???
t getting any better. He also has a strong sensitivity to light and is always cowering away from it and covering his eyes. Please guys is there anyone out there who recognizes these symptoms or can offer any advice. I am actually writing this from along side his bed in hospital where they are telling me it's a gastro bug ! (I don't agree).
I have pre-existing diabetes, and my last baby came unexpectedly. I went for a regular checkup and her heartbeat was dipping too fast and too often, so they induced that day. I was totally blindsided and unprepared. So my advice would be to be ready for the unexpected. You could possibly have your baby early. Hopefully all goes well and your sugar will stay in control and lead to a healthy, full term baby.
