What causes painful shoulder along with restricted movement in a diabetic patient?
Dear DoctorI am a 60 year old woman who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 3 years ago! In May 2013 I started Urine therapy both ingesting my own urine and daily massage before I shower everyday. Two months ago, my right shoulder began to hurt! Movement is a bit restricted. I hope its not FROZEN shoulder. Will Urine therapy still help me? Or do i have to go through painful Pysiotherapy?Mrs. Barbara Ann John
<start> Hi Barbara,Thanks for asking.Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. It appears to be frozen shoulder.2. It is commonly seen in elderly and more commonly with diabetes. Clinical examination of shoulder and MRI necessary to rule out any associated pathology.3. Yes, you will require physiotherapy along with mild exercises. 4. I am not sure about urine therapy, but not advisable. It is not sterile and contains chemicals which are supposed to be discarded. Risk of infection, especially with diabetes is present. Control blood sugar within normal range. Also mild exercises, weight reduction, and multiple small meals will be helpful. Medication to be continued regularly.Hope it helps.Any further queries, happy to help again. <end>

Is unusual sweating and sickness in the stomach a symptom of diabetes?
i have family history both sides type 1 and 2 diabetes. I am female 49 yo and 5 4 tall and 162 pounds. I have been craving sugar and carbs. I have terrible night sweats and day hot flashes. I wake up sick to my stomach every morning and off and non through out the day. Mom tested me with her kit right after I ate. (i was again sweating and sick to stomach but, did not feel hungry) It was 115 right after eating. Is that a normal range? I did start to feel a bit better even though I was not hungry. Do I have a sugar problem? Also a itchy patch on my arm that no one knows what it is from but, hve had it for about 8 years or so and it itches and darkens at times. Dermatologist just said that it was some sort of trauma from what the biopsy said.??? Sugar?? Oh, off and on yeast infections but use probiotics to keep at bay.

How dangerous is blood sugar level of 330?
How dangerous is a blood sugar level of 330? My husband has been without metformin for about a week, but has been taking a shot and a new pill - neither are insulin, the pill helps block sugar from entering your system and the shot helps the metformin.
<start> Hello,a blood sugar level of 330mg/dL causes loss of water and glucose from the kidney. This leads to dehydration. Sometimes (usually in type 1 diabetes, very rarely on type 2) it may end up in ketoacidosis. Chronic problems related to high blood glucose include diabetes complications like kidney damage (chronic kidney disease), cardiovascular complications (acute myocardial infarction, stroke, etc), neurological problems (diabetic neuropathy etc), eye problems etcI guess the injection must be a GLP-1-agonist(exenatide or similar drugs) and the pill must be acarbose. Both are good drugs against type 2 diabetes but it seems they are not sufficient for your husband and it's a strange combination too.Why did he stop metformin? Another important piece of information would be his glucosylated hemoglobin level. Treatment plans depend a lot on this test.I hope I've helped!If you'd like further information, please let me know and I'll be glad to answer.Kind Regards! <end>

What causes fatigue when suffering from diabetes?
I have diabetes type 2. In the afternoon I have no physical strength and an exhausted. My sure levels are under good control with metformin and sliding scale on insulin. I have had several lows lately in the low 40s without changing anything. This is new and am not sure what to think about this.
<start> Hello there,I can understand your concern about this fatigue due to diabetes.Fatigue in diabetes can be due to various reasons. In your case like you have already observed low sugars, that seems to be the reason why you are having less physical strength and exhausted feeling. It seems that the insulin doses you are on are higher than what you require as Metformin by itself does not cause low sugars, usually. There could be another reason for sudden low sugars while being on the same dose and that could be deterioration in your kidney functions. So I would suggest get a FBS, After breakfast, Before lunch, After lunch, Before dinner and After dinner reading for a week (one reading each day with changing timings every day) and then get kidney functions test, HbA1c to find the cause of your sudden low sugars. If there is no definite cause then there is a simple need to change your insulin doses and try to avoid low sugars. Your fatigue will get better once sugars start to be in normal range. Depending on your age and other problems like heart diseases (if any) or kidney problem (if any) your sugar level targets can be decided. Do discuss these things with your diabetologist who will make the necessary changes after seeing the reports.Till then try to eat frequent small meals so that you do not get low sugars.Hope this helps.Take care. <end>

How can blood sugar levels, muscle problems and back pain be treated?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My husband was in an automobile accident 15 years ago and has had trouble with his blood sugar ever since. He was diabetic since 14, but did not experience these feelings until after the accident. It happened the first time on the day of the accident. He feels as if his blood sugar is rock bottom and that he is literally fighting for his life, and says death would not feel any worse. Specialists have been unable to help. It s the feeling he gets when his blood sugar is dropping, whatever the reading is, but 100% bad when it is anywhere below 200. Could a nerve been damaged, automic nervous system, or something? He has a bad stomach also. It has completely taken the quality of his life, not to mention unable to let his blood sugar get anywhere near a normal level. HELP.

What causes sore tongue and mouth in a type 2 diabetic person?
My tongue and mouth are uncomfortably sore for 1-2 weeks---I m thinking it may be oral thrush but there are no white spots; I m not a smoker. I am a generally healthy Type 2 diabetic, well controlled w/ medication. Is there something I can take to relieve the discomfort.
<start> Dear Sir, greetings from HCM ... I understand your problems ... You told that your blood glucose is well in control ... That's great .. Any way to be on the safer side get your HbA1c done ...along with lipid profile and fasting glucose levels ... The sore tongue could be due to vitamin deficiency .. Please take good nutritious food and for a month better take any vitamin and mineral supplements .. Riboflavin / even zinc deficiency could also lead to this kind of problems ... U will be alright in a week after starting supplements but regularly take green leafy vegetables and fruits which will give these supplements naturally .. Take care and all the best .. Do contact us for more queries.. <end>

What causes nasal bleeding after taking Levemir flexpen?
Hello, My husband (age 44) just began taking Levemir Flexpen last night. This morning, about 9 hours after administering the medicine, he woke up with a nosebleed. This is an unusual occurrence for him. The pharmacist said this is not an expected side effect and suggested we call the doctor when the office opens. We are waiting for that to happen. Is this a side effect you are familiar with? His bp is 141/91. He is on bp medication and this is a slightly high read for him. His blood sugar is 226 which is a typical read for him. No other symptoms except slightly shaky feeling but he is nervous.
<start> Hello,I've search medical literature and nosebleeding during levemir use is a rare event. Since it's so rare during it's use and because nosebleeding may happen even in normal individuals I cannot tell whether it could be attributed to levemir or not. The lack of recurrent nosebleeding in his history warrants for an ear-nose-throat specialist consultation, to check his nose for various abnormalities (fragile blood vessels, tumors, etc).I hope I've helped!If you'd like more information, please let me know and I'll be glad to answer.Kind Regards! <end>

<start> Dear sir.. Greetings from HCM ... As you rightly pointed out YES it could be a secondary hypertension with diabetes ... Cortisol could be responsible for both .. Pls get properly evaluated with serum cortisol levels at morning time .. In adduction ultrasound abdoman even CT for pituitary ... for ruling out Cushing s disease or Cushing syndrome ... If the cause is treated he will be alright .. Do contact us with reports .. Thank you <end>
