Pancreatitis and hyperglycemia

Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and hyperglycemia

pancreatitis

Avatar n tn Alcohol consumption in patients with diabetes poses them at a risk for both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. While the former is associated with worsening of diabetes the latter can be acutely dangerous. It can also increase the effect of hypoglycemic medication and pose a risk for pancreatitis associated with worsening diabetes and hence is best avoided in patients with diabetes. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
Avatar n tn Any patient treated with atypical antipsychotics should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weakness. Patients who develop symptoms of hyperglycemia during treatment with atypical antipsychotics should undergo fasting blood glucose testing.
Avatar n tn All of this has started within this year plus bad cholesterol is good good cholesterol is bad and Triglycerides are slightly elevated. Is there a relationship or link to Hyperthyroid and Hyperglycemia? Is all of this related? Should I take a watch and see? Is there others reasons my Thyhroid tests are coming back slightly out of range? What does Heterogeneous Thyroid mean? Is that normal?
Avatar n tn She only underwent blood tests when she was 5, some 10 years ago. She was then diagnosed with pancreatitis, and takes ursodeoxycholic acid every day, and she has been eating blended cat food with a sirynge for some 7 years, as she doesn't digest solid food well. But she was otherwise healthy and happy, until the stroke.. Now the bleeding in her eye finished, but she continues completely blind. Her pupil in the left eye contracts with light, but she sees nothing.
Avatar n tn You should get a second opinion as you may have been misdiagnosed. Ask to see an Endocrinologist - a diabetes specialist - for a second opinion. To my knowledge, shaking leans more towards hypoglycemia [type 1] than hyperglycemia [type 2] [see the following].
Avatar n tn Trouble was I had a really bad Nicorette habit. Low and behold I have chronic pancreatitis and if I chew the gum--the pancreatic pain skyrockets. I would say "YES" Nicorette either causes, triggers, or aggrevates pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn Diabetes and Bulimia are a deadly duo, To say "As per I knew there is no relation between bulimia for diabetes." is incorrect. This link http://tinyurl.com/6x93zv produced 1,510,000 hits on the subject. As you review each thread you'll see lots of distinct relationships between bulimia and diabetes.
Avatar m tn Have you heard of a link between use of Cydex disinfectant and risk of developing COPD? Thank you.
Avatar n tn ve perused the internet regarding the connection between hyperglycemia and primary HIV infection and have found absolutely nothing. Still though, I am terribly concerned. I'll be receiving my HIV test results this monday. Am I being paranoid?
Avatar f tn You have posted on the type 2 forum, hyperglycemia, not type 1 aka juvenile diabetes. Prepare yourself to ask your doctor questions by using Google and search on 'hyperglycemia testing' and/or 'type 1 diabetes testing'. Also, call the doctor's office and ask if you should fast 8-10 hours prior. To add to allymarbles, an endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in diabetes care and treatment. Most PCP's know only basic care - here take this pill, call me later.
1770925 tn?1365618522 There is much info on diabetics with hyperglycemia but very little on one that have hyperglycemia. I have a low sugar problem, that go to hypoglycemic symptoms, and doctors that only treat high sugar oroblems. Where can I find info on treatment of my type diabetic?
Avatar f tn im now being directed to take a gastric emptying study which i already have had done a year ago and those results were normal..my question is...is here a link between pancreatitis and bile reflux? and if so, would it not be indicative of an obstruction (due to the minor dilation) of my pancreatic duct....is there any remedies or speculation around these test results?
Avatar n tn I had hyperparathyroidism and it was my understanding that was separate from my thyroid issue. I'm not sure that is clinically correct though. Hope you get more answers.
Avatar m tn Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver. Im being sent to a pain specialist for the pain, and hoping he can offer relief, because Ive been recieving very little help from my doctor with that. Im 5'5", used to be about 138lbs, and now am 162, with gain of 10lbs a month on a low fat diet, no meat, no bread, soft food. I dont understand except unless wieght gain is from thyroid going wrong, im hypothyroid.
Avatar n tn It sounds like you are experiencing dawn phenomenon (or a rise in blood sugar usually between 2 and 4 a.m.). This is a natural rise as your body gets ready for the day. Have you ever talked to your doctor or diabetes educator about an insulin pump? On a pump you can program a higher amount of basal insulin in the morning to prevent this. Please note that this is my opinion only. Have a wonderful day.

Avatar m tn His phase 1 insulin response is shot so his phase 2 response is over correcting and producing too much insulin and causing lower BG that IS reactive hypoglycemia.
Avatar n tn t really given much say in the matter, as the pancreatitis was a nasty attack and I was strongly advised to get my gallbladder out asap after it. It was a straightforward procedure, with no after effects. I can't really say I felt better, because apart from the pancreatitis incident, I never had any problems beforehand! I do sometimes suffer with the "dumping syndrome" which, whilst unpleasant, doesn't worry me too much as I believe it's normal.
Avatar n tn I've had my blood sugar checked several times over the past 12 months in relation to my frequent lightheadedness / imbalance. My fasting bloodsugar seems to be around 120-130 usually. I had a glucose tolerance test and it came back "normal". A new doctor just ran an a1c test on me and it came back as 6. I am over weight (not losing weight as I often read about when looking up diabetes). Does above normal blood sugar always mean diabetes?
Avatar f tn t seem to care about the Pneumobilia and one Dr seemed to think its normal and I might have it forever, but I am concerned especially about possible infection coming from the small bowel into the Biliary hepatic vessels and also can this air be causing the ongoing Pancreatitis?
