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.

is there any 100% effective diet plan which can reverse diabetes ? can we take the reviews of such patients ? so that i can plan to proceed accordingly .
Male | Rohit kumar
Diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are too high, leading to symptoms like thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, and blurry vision. Managing diabetes requires a healthy diet low in sugar and carbs. While no diet can completely reverse diabetes, a well-balanced diet combined with regular exercise can positively impact the condition. Always consult a diabetologist before making any changes to your diet.

Hello Doctor, My grandmother age is 72. She has Diabetes, BP, urinary tract infection. Recently, a mild cyst found in her kidney through CT Scan. 15 days ago, her condition went serious and we joined her In hospital. Her sugar levels were 600mg/dl. Doctors treated her and dropped her sugar levels to normal. Now, she is mentally not stable and taking full bed rest. She is unable to stand or sit on her own. She is able to recognise all of us and can eat or drink on her own. But she is very week and mentally disturbed so much. She talks unrelated. Please suggest what treatment we should take for her. Thank you doctor.
Female | 72
Your grandmother faced challenging times. Her health conditions recently caused worries. Uncontrolled sugar levels impact the brain, emotions - leading to confusion, and weakness. A kidney cyst may add stress too. Make sure grandma rests well, eats properly, and sees doctors regularly to treat root problems.

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.

Male | 51
Tingling, numbness, burning - those might be signs of diabetic neuropathy for those with diabetes. It happens when high blood sugar levels harm foot nerves. To tackle it: control blood sugar through good eating, exercise, and medications your doctor recommends. Get foot exams often, take good care of your feet too. This prevents worse issues from developing down the road.

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.

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.

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.

Your baby and you can be in danger if your blood sugar is too high. Occasionally Glynase is given to lower blood sugar, but be sure to ask your gynecologist about this drug’s safety. The medication might help decrease sugar levels in your body, but always heed your physician’s advice. Also, eating good food and exercising can manage your blood sugar.

Hi there! Your blood sugar remains high despite taking medications regularly. This means your body may not respond well to the current medications.

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.

High blood sugar of 262 been high for 4 days
Female | 38
High blood sugar can cause excessive thirst, fatigue, and increased urination. If it is high for too long, like 262 for 4 days, it can be dangerous. This may be due to not taking diabetes medication, eating too much sugary food, or lack of exercise. To reduce it, try drinking water, eating healthy foods, and moving more. If this still doesn't help, you should go to a doctor.
