It’s great to monitor your glucose levels, as elevated readings can affect your health. High blood sugar can lead to increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. Managing diabetes involves consistent monitoring, following a healthy diet, and regular exercise. Ensure you take your prescribed medication as directed. It may be beneficial to speak with your diabetologist about your current regimen and potentially adjust your treatment plan. Regular consultations will help you maintain better control over your condition.

My 75-year-old grandmother, who has diabetes, accidentally took a double dose of her Glimpride medication this morning. She was supposed to take 0.5 mg but took 1 mg instead. I'm worried about her blood sugar levels. What should we do immediately to ensure her safety, and what potential side effects should we watch out for?

Male | 75

It's understandable to be concerned about your grandmother’s health after the extra dose of Glimepiride. Monitor her closely for signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shaking, dizziness, or confusion. If she exhibits any of these symptoms, offer her a quick source of sugar, like juice or candy. Ensure she stays hydrated and has regular meals. While this dosage increase might not cause severe issues, it’s best to contact her diabetologist for further guidance tailored to her situation.

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.

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 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!

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.

Hello I'm a type 1 diabetic, I personally like snacks that are low carb. How do I know if a (diabetic friendly) store bought snack is good for me? My insulin to carb ratio is 1:15

Male | 13

Diabetic snacking ne­eds care. Always check the total carb conte­nt on labels. For stable blood sugar, pick low-carb options. Based on your 1:15 insulin-to-carb ratio, 1 insulin unit cove­rs 15 grams of carbs consumed. So portion your snack accordingly. However, drink water promptly if you e­xperience e­xcessive thirst, freque­nt urination, blurred vision, and possible high blood sugar signs. The­n test your levels and adjust insulin pe­r doctor's guidelines.
