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.

im sugar patient, which juice can i drink
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.

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.

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.

Can pre-diabetes be reversed? I have recently got 112 mg/dl fasting glucose reading? if yes, then what should I do?
Male | 34
Pre-diabetes is fixable. It means blood sugar is too high, although not diabetes yet. You might feel tired, thirsty, and need to pee often. Reasons include unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. To undo pre-diabetes, eat nutritious foods like veggies and fruits. Do exercise frequently. Maintain a good weight. Start small: take short daily walks. Do these things. They'll reduce blood sugar, preventing diabetes eventually.

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.

If this still doesn't help, you should go to a doctor.
