Wrong Medication Dose: Taking 150mg Instead of 100mg
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.

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.

Hi.dr.Im Geeta my age is 46.Im a diabetic patient.morning empty stomach my sugar level is 211.my medicine is janumet 50/1000.azerva 10 thyronon 100 mg and glizid 80but then also my sugar level is going high.please help me out and I'm also getting boil also
Female | 46
Your sugar remains elevated despite medicine. Too much sugar risks skin boils - red, painful lumps filled with pus. Diabetes often causes boils when sugars stay high. Lowering sugars prevent boils. Your meds or diet may need adjusting. It's wise to discuss concerns with your doctor soon.

I am 3month pregnant...my fasting sugar level is 157.... hb1c level 8.4.....my medicine doctor prescribed medicine glynase....is it safe for me???
Female | 35
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.

Thank you.

Mom's blood sugar is high, which could make her feel thirsty, need to pass urine more, get tired fast. A poor diet may cause this. Eat plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean protein. Cut sugary foods and drinks. Exercise daily. These steps will help lower her blood sugar levels.

What foods to avoid with diabetes
Having diabetes needs you to avoid foods that mess with blood sugar. Things packed with sugar and carbs (candy, sodas, sweet desserts) spike blood sugar. Fried stuff and processed snacks make diabetes worse too. Focus on fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins instead. Those are way better for managing diabetes properly.

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.

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.

Female | 55
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Your mom's high blood pressure needs attention. A reading of 160/100 is concerning. Many factors contribute to elevated levels. Stress, improper medication use, diabetes, and stomach troubles impact it. She should consult her doctor about symptoms. Medication adjustments may help. Controlling it requires healthy habits. Eat right, exercise, reduce stress, take prescribed drugs properly. Regular check-ups monitor the condition closely. I hope she feels better soon.

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.
