Hi there! Your blood sugar remains high despite taking medications regularly. This means your body may not respond well to the current medications. High blood sugars can cause symptoms like increased urination, feeling thirsty, and tiredness. You might need different medicines or adjusted doses. It's crucial to discuss this with your doctor to find a better way to control your sugar levels.

Female | 22
Diabetes is challenging; high blood sugars deplete energy, causing issues. Adhering to insulin regimen and dietary habits proves crucial. Physical activity, however modest, aids glucose regulation and wellness. Persistent symptoms necessitate consulting healthcare professionals for tailored recommendations. It's vital to prioritize self-care through medication adherence, nutritious choices, and regular movement. Seeking medical guidance when difficulties persist ensures proper management.

My father Ave is 60, non diabetic ,when he checked his sugar level post meal within 2 hours of meal his blood sugar level is 140 ,is it normal or pre diabetic
Male | 60
Once you have finished eating, a blood sugar level of 140 is a bit high if you don't have diabetes. It hints you may develop diabetes later on. Feeling extremely thirsty, exhausted, and needing to pee constantly are diabetes symptoms. To reduce blood sugar levels, consume more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while cutting back on sugary foods, and beverages. Exercising frequently can also help keep sugar levels in check.

I have sugar 203 after 4 hrs of eating
Female | 69
High blood sugar above 203 is abnormal after eating. It occurs when your body can't produce enough insulin or use it correctly. You may often feel thirsty, tired, and hungry. Manage high blood sugar by following a balanced diet, staying active through exercise, and taking medications prescribed. Check blood sugar levels frequently. See your doctor for more guidance.

My name is Minal Gupta. My fasting sugar level first time 110 and HBA1C level 5.7%. Is it normal?
Female | 31
A fasting sugar level of 110 is slightly higher than healthy, while an HBA1C level of 5.7% is considered within the normal range. High fasting sugar levels can be caused by not eating well. To deal with this, strive for a balanced diet and move your body more by engaging in light exercises or taking walks. Consult a doctor before taking any more steps.

m a diabetic patient ifeel my left arm feels vacant while sleeping in night
Male | 50
A medical issue may be causing numbness in your arm at night. Peripheral neuropathy often occurs with diabetes. Excess glucose damages arm nerves, creating that vacant feeling. Controlling sugar levels helps reduce tingling or numbness. Your diet, exercise, prescribed medication — these properly manage blood sugar. Achieve healthy targets to relieve neuropathy discomfort affecting your limb.

My dad is a diabetic one took regular dose of glycomet and accidentally took another dose what happens now explain me about management
Male | 46
This can lower blood sugar levels too much. Watch for signs like shaking, sweating, not thinking clearly, or fainting. If these symptoms show, give your father some sugary juice or soda immediately. Monitor him closely. Call for medical assistance if needed. Be more careful counting out medication doses next time.

I’m 63 years old diabetic and suffering from lumbar pain and some related problems arises I have taken treatment from orthopedist since 1 year but it has been raised.
Male | 63
You have lower back pain, despite seeing a specialist for a year. Back troubles come from many causes: age, diabetes, overexerting yourself. Doctors use MRIs to find out why. Managing the discomfort involves easy workouts, good posture, medicines. But listen to your doctor first.

i have diabetes for 2yrs or more but till last year my repriductive organ is normal but forcpast 2months when masterbating also my organ is smaller in size.. but ejaculation occurs normal but size is small. is it due to diabetes or over masterbation
Male | 32
Diabetes mellitus can actually be an obstacle to male and female reproductive functions. Persistent high blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage and blood flow restriction as well as a hormonal imbalance. Moreover, temporary swelling haemorrhage due to the fatigued tissues may be caused by excessive masturbation. This one, I should say, requires the patients and doctors to focus on the effective management of diabetes through medication, proper diet, and regular exercise. Recommend you to visit a urologist for personalized treatment.

I accidentally took 2.5 instead of .25 semiglutide. What should I do.
Female | 51
The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!

Male | 82
Sitara DM 1000 is a strong medicine for diabetes. Your levels have been getting better which is a positive thing. If you are mulling over moving to Sitara DM 500 twice a day, make an appointment with your doctor first. They will assist you according to your exact health requirements. Skipping a conversation with your doctor before a medication change could be dangerous. Inform them of your condition and seek their opinion.

I've been given the wrong dose meds, I'm meant to be on 100mg a day, I have 50mg tablets, I take 2 a day. I've been given 150mg tablets, the prescription sticker on the box says 50mg, but it's a box of 150 mg tablets, I've been taking 2 a day for a couple weeks.
Female | 27
You accidentally took incorrect medication dosing. Two 150mg tablets daily exceeds your prescribed dosage. This elevated dosage could trigger adverse effects like headaches, dizziness, nausea. Promptly notify your doctor about this mix-up for proper dosage adjustment tailored to your needs.

These levels suggest diabetes - too much sugar in the bloodstream. Don't ignore this red flag. Taking action now prevents future problems. Eat healthy foods. Move your body regularly. Medication may also help, on doctor's advice. Control blood sugar before complications arise.

My uncle is a 50 year old with a history of diabetes and arrythmia. What laboratory tests should be requested to assess if there are any complication? If a patient has CKD what blood value would most likely be elevated?
Male | 50
Lab tests help doctors check health issues. Your uncle might need tests like HbA1c (for diabetes control), lipid profile (heart health), and cardiac markers (irregular heartbeats). With kidney disease, creatinine levels usually rise. That may cause fatigue and swelling as kidneys struggle. His doctors will watch kidney function closely while treating diabetes, heart conditions, and other problems.

Few weeks later i had started experiencing nocturnal diabetes ... The thing i am unable to wake up in the morning ... My roommates used to wake me up by use of honey and sugary items.. this thing scares me alot ...please help me out ...Thank you
Female | 19
Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the evening, is complex. Being unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happens when your sugar dips during sleep. You might need to alter your insulin doses or timing under medical supervision. Complex carbs and protein at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady levels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worries with your doctor.

I am diabetic having Hba1c 6.6 and below upto 6.3 for last 2 years. My problem is that every time my mouth remains dry even after drinking water frequently. Since I don't have any idea to whom I need to consult regarding this,I consulted Dentist in this regard. He advised me to use SALEVA,a solution for dry mouth twice a day. It relieves for some hours but for remaining time,I am not comfortable. My mouth becomes so dry that I donot find any sputum most of the time and hence facing swallowing problem. As per the advice of dentist I am using sugar free chewing gum 'ORBIT' also. Please suggest, what to do.
Male | 67
Dry mouth is uncomfortable. You have diabetes. Your high Hba1c levels cause it. Diabetes damages nerves, reducing saliva flow. Dry mouth makes swallowing hard, causing other problems too. Use products your dentist advised. Sip water frequently. Avoid caffeine. Stay hydrated. If it persists, consult your doctor or endocrinologist. They'll explore treatment options.
