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.

Female | 48
Choose 100% juice with zero added sugar. Pick lower-sugar kinds like lemon or diluted cranberry. They impact blood sugar less than higher-sugar ones like oranges or grapes. Even so, remember to drink only slightly. Too much juice can trouble sugar patients.

Female | 41
These are common symptoms from a viral infection, such as a high temperature, cough, and nasal congestion. While Wikoryl can help alleviate these issues, it’s crucial to consider your conditions of diabetes and hypothyroidism. Some ingredients in medications may affect blood sugar levels or interact with your thyroid medications. Therefore, I recommend consulting your doctor before starting any new medication. They can provide personalized advice and ensure you find safe, effective relief while managing your overall health.

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.

Urin ke tele me ghat hai or sugar bhi hai please koi treatment aesa bataye jesme surgery nahi kervana pade
पुरुष | 67
Having less urine with high sugar levels signals potential kidney issues or diabetes. Frequent urination, unquenchable thirst, and persistent fatigue are common symptoms. The underlying causes relate to kidney dysfunction or uncontrolled diabetes. Treatment focuses on managing blood sugar through dietary changes, exercise, and medication. Staying hydrated and controlling blood pressure is also crucial. Surgical intervention is rarely necessary in such cases.

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 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!

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.

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.
