105,707	What causes low blood sugar levels post MRSA infection treatment?	My father in law (age 72) was diagnosed with MRSA in the urine and in his blood three weeks ago. He was discharged from the hospital 10 days ago and has been in a nursing home since. He has declined in the nursing home rapidly. His sugar is dropping under 80 and he can barely talk. He has no strength and is completely bed ridden. I can never seem to get any answers and the nurses are nasty when you question them. I feel like they are missing something and I have never seen a doctor there. Suggestions would be great as he is giving up on life at this point.	<start> Welcome to HCM,From my extensive experience in long term care I have found that getting patients to eat is a problem or providing assistance when needed is even a bigger problem. You can help by getting the family together and try to have someone there at mealtimes to encourage feeding. Check to see if he is still on blood sugar medicine or if it has been decreased or discontinued with respect to his blood sugar. If it hasn't been adjusted, make them adjust it. Contact the State and file a complaint if you observe them sitting the tray in front of him with no assist or if you find his medication has not been adjusted to his blood sugar or you find pressure sores worsening. Discuss tube feeding or in between meal supplements per family/pt's wishes. Your loved one deserves quality of care and it is the law in the US.Document everything. Please feel free to contact me should you need any other help with your father in law or in dealing with the facility. Also, by law in the US, reports on quality of life and care should be hanging by the facility door or in another public place where you have access to it. Review it to see if they were cited for similar lacks of care in the previous survey. So sorry for your situation. Regards, Kathryn J. Shattler, BS,MS,RDN - (previous healthcare surveyor) <end>	What causes low blood sugar levels post MRSA infection treatment?

105,716	How to treat blisters on the shins in a diabetic person?	My father is 83, and is diabetic. Recently he developed blisters on his shins. He stopped taking his water pills and when blisters appeared he resumed water pills again. These blisters have broken and I am using antibiotic cream and keeping them clean, but they are slow to heal. Should I seek medical treatment?	<start> HelloI have gone through your question and understood your concern.The blisters on your father's shin can be a symptom of water retention (also known as fluid retention or edema) with the appearance of chronic diabetic skin blisters.In diabetics ,the blisters occur on the outside surface of the body and cause raised areas filled with liquid.For this reason it is very very important to take regularly the water pills.If the blitsers broke,like in your father's case,it is very important to keep the clean,apply an antibiotic,cover the wound,change the dressing and watch for signs of infection like redness and pain.Diabetics are more prone to infections and the wounds are slow to heal.-In my opinion you should seek medical attention and treatement for your father because the blisters can produce dangerous compication like staphylococcal infection( that sometimes leads to amputation), bone infection near blister sites if blisters are recurring and ulceration of blisters,if not treated adequatelly.Hope this is helpful.If you have other questions,feel free and ask.Regards. <end>	How to treat blisters on the shins in a diabetic person?

I will have VA Clinic Dr. checkup in August, however I am concerned because though having two B12 shots now, there is still some swelling.

Any links to articles on Agent Orange, anaemia, B12, and swollen feet inter-relationship would be appreciated.
