Avatar n tn Hello Candikane, Your doctor's advice is surprising to me, also. I'm guessing that s/he is not a diabetes specialist and that's the type of physician who should be guiding your diabetes care. Specialists might be called endocrinologist or diabetologist. None of us here is a physician, but we're long-time diabetics or care-givers for diabetic children. You didn't mention if you've been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2, and the treatment options vary for these types.
Avatar n tn good luck High incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus during or shortly after treatment with pegylated interferon alpha for chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

Avatar n tn I also noted the JAMA reminder/caution that food does not cause Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This study and others looked at the impact of specific foods/timing of introduction in at-risk children. Please know that Type 2 is a completely different disease than Type 1. Type 1 is autoimmune, and researchers are striving to find out what triggers (or doesn't) trigger the disease. Type 2 has completely different origins.
Avatar f tn Hi! I am a registered nurse and recently was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 1 and later on developed alopecia universalis. Is there stil a hope for me to pursue my career as a nurse? Are there other options for me? Thanks and regards.
Avatar f tn I have autoimmune pernicious anaemia (rare juvenile form), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and vitiligo. I handle things far better when i have a diagnosis. ;) About 25% of patients with autoimmune diseases have a tendency to develop additional autoimmune diseases. Three or more autoimmune diseases is known as multiple autoimmune syndrome (MAS). The MAS classifications are helpful if signs of another autoimmune disease emerges.
Avatar f tn Chronic infection with HCV is associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes [61]. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has been reported to be 14–50% in patients with chronic HCV infection [62]. HCV-associated diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and does not appear to be associated with antibodies directed towards the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans [63].
Avatar f tn While you may actually have Cushing's disease, the odds are far higher that you have insulin resistance mimicking Cushing's disease. My insulin resistance symptoms (had extensive testing to rule out Cushing's disease) include a very prominant buffalo hump, high hip waist ratio (slightly improved and is currently 0.94 - should be 0.8 or less for women and 0.
Avatar n tn Below is the FDA information released by Astra Zeneca regarding this very issue Patients with risk factors for diabetes mellitus (eg, obesity, family history of diabetes) who are starting treatment with atypical antipsychotics should undergo fasting blood glucose testing at the beginning of treatment. Any patient treated with atypical antipsychotics should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weakness.
15114787 tn?1438541373 type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and T2DM. T2DM is a common endocrine disorder that encompasses multifactorial mechanisms, and T1DM is an immunologically mediated disease. Many epidemiological studies have shown an association between T2DM and chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. The processes through which CHC is associated with T2DM seem to involve direct viral effects, insulin resistance, proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and other immune-mediated mechanisms.
Avatar m tn I see you have the word 'diabetes' crossed. Diabetes is a Greek word meaning large amounts of urine. Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus fall into this realm but both are separate mechanisms. This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.
Avatar m tn Hi! Generally a high ANA titre indicates an autoimmune disease (SLE, Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune hepatitis, scleroderma, polymyositis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, dermatomyositis, primary biliary cirrhosis, Addison disease, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and type 1 diabetes mellitus). Mixed connective tissue disorders also cause a high ANA.
Avatar n tn I am one of the Forum Team who happens to be a female type 1 diabetic since childhood, so I speak from experience. While you don't want her to be ashamed of having this disease, she will feel "different" from her classmates and will probably go through a phase at some point where she wishes to keep her treatment as discreet as possible in order to keep her friends from focusing on her disease rather than on her as a person.
1640661 tn?1300652546 the various causes are vitamin B12 and folate deficiency, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, antiphospholipid antibodies to check the presence of any other familial autoimmune disorders since your two sisters have it etc. there is a familial preponderance for type 2 diabetes too. The other causes could be a cervical disc spondylosis, disc herniation, disc degeneration compressing the exiting nerve roots.
Avatar f tn This can also be the result of diseases like diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Heart, liver and kidney failure and also certain medications cause excessive thirst. Some people with severe acidity too develop a habit of drinking water to counteract the effect of acidity In your case, probably chronic diarrhea has precipitated increased thirst. Chronic diarrhea can be due to parasitic infestations.

Avatar m tn Myasthenia gravis may precede stiff person syndrome, a rare association, not serendipitous, with diabetes mellitus and inflammatory thyroid disease. intravenous immunoglobulin is the therapy. All the best.
Avatar n tn Hi there, The common causes of frequent urination in night are urinary tract infection, diabetes mellitus, prostate problems, interstitial cystitis, diuretic use, bladder dysfunction or overactive bladder syndrome. Each of these conditions will have its associated symptoms. A physical examination and medical history is very important .Depending on the findings of the physical exam and medical history, you may need tests like urine analysis, ultrasound KUB,cystoscopy,cystometry etc.
Avatar f tn Diabetes mellitus – this can be ruled out by getting the Blood sugar tested. Diabetes inspidus – this is diagnosed by getting the urine specific gravity tested as in this the urine is more dilute. In this the concentrating ability of the kidney is lost due to decreased absorption of fluid from the kidneys. Excessive intake of fluids or the use of drugs like diuretics can also increase the volume of urine.
Avatar n tn The type I usually occurs in childhood, and hypoparathyroidism is the most frequent manifestation, followed by adrenal cortical failure. Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is also commonly present, and diabetes mellitus seldom occurs. Type II , generally occurs in adults (peak at age 30). How old are you?
Avatar n tn //my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/7104-diabetes-mellitus-an-overview/diagnosis-and-tests https://www.diabetes.org/a1c/diagnosis Perhaps your A1C levels were at pre-diabetic levels, but your blood glucose levels were higher. It sounds like you've been doing really well, though, but you should talk to your doctor, though, because since it's already been high, you need to keep on top of it.
Avatar m tn Associated conditions include alcoholism, autoimmune disorders like guillain barre syndrome, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, lyme disease etc. Motor weakness, cramps, spasms are associated with motor damage and sensory nerve damage produces tingling, numbness and pain which is burning, electric like or extremely sensitive to touch. Diagnosis is by nerve conduction velocity, EMG, EEG and imaging like MRI spine etc. Take care.
Avatar m tn Hi! Generally a high ANA titre indicates an autoimmune disease (SLE, Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune hepatitis, scleroderma, polymyositis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, dermatomyositis, primary biliary cirrhosis, Addison disease, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and type 1 diabetes mellitus). Mixed connective tissue disorders also cause a high ANA. What is important is the pattern of ANA staining: homogenous, speckled, or nucleolar.
