106,103 | Suggest treatment for dry gangrene of leg | Looking for an estimate/timeline for an 83 yr old with dry gangrene of the leg. She also is on dialysis. The Vascular doctor has said she is not eligible for amputation. Circulation is pretty much shot and they will not open her up to put in any more stints. We are looking at hospice with continued dialysis- how long will she be able to live before the gangrene takes over her body? | <start> Hi,Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.Dry gangrene is often due to Peripheral artery disease, but can be due to Acute limb ischemia.

106,105 | Suggest natural cure for type 2 diabetes | Is there any natural cure for a type 2 diabetes? It looks to me that majority of Doctors limit themselves by just prescribing medications disregarding the side effects. In the other hand How come the pharmaceuticals are not accountable and responsible form the damage on people's health. | <start> Thank you for posting your query.Well the treatment largely depends on the blood glucose level. Often a borderline level or a mild increase in blood glucose can be kept in check by keeping away from sweets , restricting the calorie intake by a balanced diet and regular physical exercise which can be simple walking for about 30-40 minutes a day.But for greater values of blood glucose, one often needs medications and these days there are so many drugs which we prescribe according to the patient. These have less side effects. Do not worry much. Have a nice day. <end> | Suggest natural cure for type 2 diabetes Is there any natural cure for a type 2 diabetes?

106,112 | Suggest treatment for type 2 diabetes | My husband is a 61 year old, type 2 diabetic who takes insulin shots. He frequently (although not every day) has long periods of queasy feelings with clammy skin, etc. His doctor told him to check his blood sugar when he was feeling this was to make sure his blood sugar wasn't too low. He has done that and it hasn't been too low (e.g., 110). Could this be a side effect of his insulin? | <start> It could very easily result from a rapid swing in blood sugar levels. More frequent monitoring and keeping a 7 day diary of blood sugars, time of meals/activities/stress. You might need a change in insulin. Try to collect some more information to take to your doctor. Are you rotating injection sites?I have found that when symptoms such as yours occur it means the blood sugar is not under control and if you coordinate food, activities and type/dose of insulin, these symptoms can be avoided. So, I recommend a7 day blood sugar diary with 6 readings/per day, time of meals/activitiesand when/if this problems occurs againin that 7 day period. Then, take it to your doctor and let the doctor make needed changes if any. Have a great day!

106,118 | What complications will I face if diabetes continues after delivery? | Hi,I m 34weeks pregnant now and have gestational diabetes. When I checked my sugar levels before a week it was 103 during fasting and 181 after breakfast, 140 after lunch. Done with my scan the baby weight is 2kg. Taking insulin of 5units in morning, 3units in afternoon and 8units in night. What are the complications wil I face during delivery and will this diabetes continue after my delivery? | <start> Hello,uncontrolled gestational diabetes may cause babies to enlarge (particularly their shoulders). This enlargement may cause trouble during delivery and increase the risk for injuries to the baby and to the mother. There are several other potential complications but this is by far the more common. Your baby's weight is not that high, so it seems that diabetes has not affected it, although ultrasound scan evidence would be needed to say that for sure. Your blood glucose measurements are high - all three of them. The target levels are:- below 93 for fasting glucose- below 130 (and preferably below 120) for postprandial (1st hour) glucoseYou haven't mentioned what insulin you're using. I suppose it has to be NPH. Correcting the fasting blood glucose would usually require increasing night insulin (and perhaps adding a snack before bedtime to avoid hypoglycemia and/or ketosis). Since the morning hormones are hindering blood glucose control, you should be more careful in what you eat for breakfast. Avoiding high glycemic index carbohydrates will help. Gestational diabetes goes away after delivery - almost always!Checking your blood sugar the very next morning will convince you about that!Gestational diabetes increases your risk for type 2 diabetes in the near future so you've got to do an oral glucose tolerance test a couple of months after delivery and every three years ever after.I hope I've helped!If you'd like more information, please contact me again.Kind Regards and good luck with your pregnancy! <end> | What complications will I face if diabetes continues after delivery?

Also can type two Diabetes be reversed using Diet,Exercise and nutritional supplements? | <start> Hi thanks for using healthcaremagic....First we should understand the pathophysiology of type2 DM.In T2DM the sugar values are elevated due to the insulin resistance ,the insulin in the body is not able to act properly.The resistance is like a wall and the insulin cannot act on the insulin receptors.As a result the sugar values become more .If we can destroy the resistance then we will be able to reduce the sugar values.Exercise,diet and weight reduction is the key to reduce the insulin resistance.Hence with diet and exercise we will be able to reverse T2DM initially.But after sometime only life style modification can't help the situation ,Metformin will be required at that point.But as time progresses the insulin production will be reduced and we require some external helps.That external helps are either drugs or insulin according to the situation.thank you <end> | Can diabetes be reversed using diet,exercise and herbal supplements?

106,128 | Does itchy dry skin after drinking juice indicate diabetes? | I am concerned about being diabetic.1/ drink a lot juice. 2/ itchy dry skin. 3/tingling sensation of toes on both feet.However, urination is normal, no weight loss, no increase in appetite, no blurry vision. Cuts are healed quick quickly.I am wondering if I do symptoms of being diabetic.Many thanks.Danny LAU | <start> Hello Danny,Thank you for your question.First of all let me tell you that symptoms in diabetes can be very misleading. Some patients with diabetes have no symptoms at all and some with symptoms pointing towards diabetes may have normal sugars. That is why we clinicians rely on blood sugar values alone for diagnosing someone with diabetes. So the symptoms of feeling thirsty too often (drinking lots of juices) and itchy dry skin and tingling in the toes can point towards diabetes. I would suggest you to get a blood test for the following tests: 1) Fasting blood glucose2) Post meal blood glucose after 2 hours3) HbA1c4) Renal function tests5) Liver function tests6) TSH7) Vit B12 levelsThese test results will guide us to tell whether the reason for your symptoms is diabetes or something else. You can get back to me once you get these results.Hope this helps.Take care.Dr Shreya Kunder <end> | Does itchy dry skin after drinking juice indicate diabetes?

106,129 | Is there a chance of curing diabetes without medications? | Hi doc, I m 27 yr old having type 2 diabetic I m diabetic when I was 18 and I reduced 7 kg weight on tat period and I was doing workout reguraly so I was normal without medication my hba1c was 5.1to 5.6 and I had normal pregnancy without diabetic and baby also normal, after my delivery it's two years now my hba1c is 6.8 and my doc gave me glyciphage 250 mg . My question is I want to have second baby and I don't want medication for diabetes , is it possible can I cure this waiting for ur reply? | <start> Hello,as you've already noticed, body weight plays a very important role in blood glucose regulation. If you're overweight then loosing some Kilograms would help you reduce mean glucose values. Physical activity is a big part of diabetes treatment. It is as effective as a pill. You need to exercise daily for at least 30 minutes. You don't have to do intense exercise. Even walking a little faster than usual helps.Diet is very important as well. Avoiding food with high glycemic index and fat will help you achieve better glucose results.If you can't keep the blood sugar down to normal while being pregnant, you should receive treatment to avoid complications to the fetus. The most difficult time period comes after the 20th-24th week of pregnancy. Hormonal reasons make blood sugar regulation after that period more difficult than usual. I hope I've helped!If you'd like further information, please contact me again.Kind Regards! <end> | Is there a chance of curing diabetes without medications?

For diabetic patients over the age of 60 the prevalence of high frequency hearing loss rose to 54%.All I want to suggest that kindly get your mother`s ear evaluated by ENT specialist, as it will tell that which kind of deafness is it and what might be the probable cause of it.Once the ear has been examined the cranial nerves should be evaluated. Audiography is more sensitive and specific than a tuning fork examination and thus is essential in most patients with hearing loss.Since the blood sugar and blood pressure is under control so it is advisable to maintain it at mentioned level. Ask her to avoid straining and doing heavy works as it might aggravates the problem.For the time being you can start a combination of methylcobalamin and pregabalin.God bless <end> | Suggest treatment for headache and progressive hearing loss in a diabetic Hi my mother is diabetic.

106,144 | Suggest remedy for nausea | 53YOF, post-menaposal, Med Hx: Psoriatric Arthritis, High B/P & Non-Insulin dependent Diabetes. I have been taking Victoza for approx 4 months. Before that I had been taking Metformin for approx 1-1/2 years without any real change in BG levels. My last A1C a month ago was 6.2 - down from 7.1 before starting Victoza. I have also been able to lose 20 lbs which is helping me feel better. The last 2 weeks, I have been experiencing nausea in the mornings when I wake up. Sometimes it clears up but other days it lasts until the afternoon - it is just kind of there in the background at varying degrees of severity. I am wondering whether this would have anything to do with the Victoza. I did experience nausea at first until the dose was adjusted but not like this. I am also on diovan daily which has my b/p controlled, and ultram daily & humira bi-monthly for arthritis which is doing well. I have been on these meds for several years.

106,145 | Suggest treatment for type 1 diabetes | My name is Maria Penkowa. I am 22 years-old girl from Bourgas, Bulgaria.For several months I am suffering from diabetes type 1. My daily insulin dose is 11 units – 4times a day. In my case as in each young person this hinders the development of my career, relationships with friends, and depresses me. Recently I was informed that the only way for full recovery is through the implantation of stem cells. Please give me more detailed information concerning the procedures, documentation and possible price for the manipulation in your clinic. Sincerely yours: Maria | <start> HI, thanks for using healthcare magicStem cell implantation is an experimental procedure at the moment. It is not used wide spread in the treatment of diabetes at the moment.This unfortunately means that it is not likely an option at this time but you would have to speak to your local doctor to find out if there are any centers in your area that are currently experimenting.You may be able to better manage if your regimen in altered to suit your lifestyle.A basal insulin can be used once daily eg lantus, peglispro, detimirShort acting insulin can then be given with your meals. The amount of short acting insulin would depend on the amount of carbohydrates with your meal. If it contains no carbs- no insulin, if it has a high amount would need to enough insulin to cover the meal.This would allow some flexibility with dose and time. You would need to visit a nutritionist to learn to count the carbs.I hope this helps <end> | Suggest treatment for type 1 diabetes My name is Maria Penkowa.

106,149 | Can operculum be removed if suffering from eruption of 3rd molar? | Hi there, I am suffering with a partially erupted 3rd molar on my lower right side. Only approx 20% of the tooth is visable and has been this way for about 3 years now. It is a tight seal between the tooth and the operculum which means its very difficult to keep clean, even using a syringe does not work. this is making it very prone to infection, and the smell....well lets keep this polite and say its more them embarrasing. My question to you is, what is the likelyhood that my dentist will agree to remove the operculum as i have read on alot of forums that the riskis involved with the lingual nerve are very high and the operculectomy has been removed from standard practice. Im in the UK, using a UK dentist just incase that makes a difference. I would really appriciate any help and advice you could give me. Thanks Sean | <start> Thank you for your queryIn your case I must suggest that try to go to an oral surgeon and not just plain dentist.He will get orthopentomogram done(OPG). This investigation will show the angle of molar, size of root, and it also tells about the cause of impaction.Moreover the 3rd molar is more or less a vestigeal organ. It has no role in grinding or occlusion. Getting the operculectomy done might hamper your 2nd molar(if tilted)Extraction is the treatment in your case....But do consult an oral surgeon as he is an expert and prevent lingual nerve injury. The lingual nerve injury is otherwise very rare. Extraction will also prevent chronic gingivitis, which causes bad oral odour.God bless <end> | Can operculum be removed if suffering from eruption of 3rd molar?

thanks user for your querywell your question is very straight forward. Let me answer it in a sentence that despite having normal fasting and post prandial sugar, you have to go for oral glucose tolerance test. Do let me know your height and weight. Also do regular exercise for 30 minutes, 5 times a week, but kindly get yourself evaluated for your cardiac profile (ECG,ECHO).You must take due care in your diet also.

Avoid taking bulk diets in a single meal.Instead you can take small and frequent diet (low carbohydrate). Design your meals in such a way that your meal should contain half of green leafy vegetables, curd or any milk products but it should be prepared from skimmed milk, nuts, either take par boilled rice or multigrain chapatis.

106,181 | Suggest treatment to control blood sugar | I ve been a type1 diabetic since I was 7. I m now 50. My blood sugar control has been good,using humalog (short-acting insulin) and Lants (insulin for basal blood sugar contro),but I was in an auto accident 8 years ago. I had chronic fatigue just weeks after the accident. Many tests were done, but nothing significant was found. i have had high liver enzymes since the accident, but a biopsy showed no disease. Doctors said, Just live with it. This year i went to an osteopath, who immediately noticed my liver was congested and had structural damage. Even though my hemoglobin A1C tests have been in the mid 6 s, when i get low, my blood sugar will sometimes spike after just 5-10 grams of carbohydrates. other times I m still low after 25 grams of carbohydrates. This happens 1-2 times a week, with no triggers I can anticipate. In talking with a diabetes educator, I learned that this was probably a function of my liver being off. Is there any way I can anticipate how my liver will release sugar, or is it simply a guess and check process? I went to a new endocrinologist last week. When she looked over my labs, she said I should be referred to a liver specialist. Since my A1C levels are good, and I check blood sugars regularly, eat regularly, and do everything according o good diabetes control, she say the only variable is my liver function. She is very concerned about my blood sugar spikes and dips that don t seem to follow the rules. I take milk thistle for my liver, do liver massages and pumps my osteopath taught me, and also use creams and clay for liver support. Is there anything else you can suggest to balance my blood sugar as I get my liver healed? How long does this generally take to get a liver fully functional with enzmes in normal range? Thank you, Jayne | <start> Dear friend, greeting.. I understood your problems..... I know your liver is injured and congested with inflammation .. As reflected by your elevated liver or hepatobiliary enzymes.... Plus you are a diabetes ... You need to avoid any drugs or toxins like alcohol till your liver is healthy.. Please do keep a track of your liver enzymes and blood glucose levels .. Keep checking your HbA1c every two months with LFT and lipid profile.. You can take some hepato protective drugs till it is heal s .. Eg. Sylmarin . do take more of green leafy vegetables, fruit s , oats , whole grains, milets , fish .. That prevent s the accumulation of fat in liver too.. And also control your sugar levels .. You need to keep your self physically active at least walk for an hour a day .. Be fit and healthy ..

106,187 | Could abnormal rise in blood sugars be related to thyroid? | My friend had PCOS a long time ago, and SLIGHTLY high blood sugar... after testing, the doctor said, we can knock out both with metformin, and she went on it in 06). PCOS disappeared and little changed medically... and then she became pregnant very soon after that. With that pregnancy she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and went on insulin. After that(Mid 07) she went back to metformin... in late 2009, she was still on metformin but doing great. She went off metformin in (Sept. 09) and her blood sugars were great... never over 115, usually 100 or lower, which she had previously been told she could never do again because once you have glucose intolerance your always diabetic . ( I should clarify this by stating she has NEVER been diagnosed type 2, she was found to have impaired glucose tolerance) Well everything was peachy until this august, early September... after a year of good health her blood sugar started rising... avg of like 140 to 150 and she was getting lethargic, so she had to go to the clinic...(no insurance) Once she revealed she had been on metformin(a year ago) the doctor prescribed her more and said he was sure it was just early diabetes... then gave an A1C on which she got 5.7... She has NEVER had an A1C over 7... either way the doctor didn’t care to figure more out... well now we re in the spot where she feels awful and her blood sugar is even HIGHER after taking metformin for a few months again. (160 to 190) So this leads me to ponder a few things... 1. If she is diabetic, how was she super healthy for a year, scored an A1C of 5.7 and didn’t even feel to sick, mainly just lethargic when her blood sugar began to rise..? 2. If she isn’tt diabetic, is taking the medicine causing unnecessary problems like that lactic acidosis (lf I m not mistaken, metformin is known to cause). 3. Is there a chance its thyroid related?. 4. What vitamins do you recommend for this sort of issue? Food intake: Shes make a lot of our own food, some even from what we got out of our garden. Water intake: She doesn’t usually drink as much as she should, she says she just never feels thirsty, and hasn t since child hood. Although she is working on drinking anyways... Exercise: She is not overly active, but not a total bum.. so moderatish( we have 3 kids to take care of) Oddities: as I stated, Sarah has never really felt thirsty, also strangely, on metformin she is now craving MORE food, especially sweets, even though metformin is used as an appetite suppressant... this side effect was not present when she was on metformin in the past. Any advice on this issue would be much appreciated. Thank you very much. Kristin | <start> Dear friend .. I appreciate your concern .. I think she need yo to investigated thoroughly may require a consultation with an endocrinologist .. First get her HbA1c , fasting and post prondial glucose , lipid profile, urine for microalbuminuria and thyoroid profile too .. fT3, fT4, and TSH .. .. That might give us the complete picture of her hormonal imbalance .. Metformin is an excellent drug for insulin resistance .. PCOD, obesity, hypothyroidism, and diabetes all will be associated with different degrees of Insulin resistance .. So metformin can be a useful drug .. But if the sugar levels find s to be too high you need to add another oral hypoglycemic agent .. So that we should keep her sugar levels under check .. That should be our prime aim .. Any way as you are well aware lifestyle changes are very important in managing these insulin resistance stares .. Thank you and do contact us for more queries.. <end> | Could abnormal rise in blood sugars be related to thyroid? My friend had PCOS a long time ago, and SLIGHTLY high blood sugar... after testing, the doctor said, we can knock out both with metformin, and she went on it in 06). PCOS disappeared and little changed medically... and then she became pregnant very soon after that. With that pregnancy she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and went on insulin. After that(Mid 07) she went back to metformin... in late 2009, she was still on metformin but doing great. She went off metformin in (Sept. 09) and her blood sugars were great... never over 115, usually 100 or lower, which she had previously been told she could never do again because once you have glucose intolerance your always diabetic . ( I should clarify this by stating she has NEVER been diagnosed type 2, she was found to have impaired glucose tolerance) Well everything was peachy until this august, early September... after a year of good health her blood sugar started rising... avg of like 140 to 150 and she was getting lethargic, so she had to go to the clinic...(no insurance) Once she revealed she had been on metformin(a year ago) the doctor prescribed her more and said he was sure it was just early diabetes... then gave an A1C on which she got 5.7... She has NEVER had an A1C over 7... either way the doctor didn’t care to figure more out... well now we re in the spot where she feels awful and her blood sugar is even HIGHER after taking metformin for a few months again. (160 to 190) So this leads me to ponder a few things... 1. If she is diabetic, how was she super healthy for a year, scored an A1C of 5.7 and didn’t even feel to sick, mainly just lethargic when her blood sugar began to rise..? 2. If she isn’tt diabetic, is taking the medicine causing unnecessary problems like that lactic acidosis (lf I m not mistaken, metformin is known to cause). 3. Is there a chance its thyroid related?. 4. What vitamins do you recommend for this sort of issue? Food intake: Shes make a lot of our own food, some even from what we got out of our garden. Water intake: She doesn’t usually drink as much as she should, she says she just never feels thirsty, and hasn t since child hood. Although she is working on drinking anyways... Exercise: She is not overly active, but not a total bum.. so moderatish( we have 3 kids to take care of) Oddities: as I stated, Sarah has never really felt thirsty, also strangely, on metformin she is now craving MORE food, especially sweets, even though metformin is used as an appetite suppressant... this side effect was not present when she was on metformin in the past.

106,188 | Can Xarelto cause elevated A1C levels? | Hi, I have just moved to another state and seen a Dr. He sent me for blood work and my A1C test came back as 5.9. I was taking xarelto at the time of this test and had been for 6 months but have since quit taking it and went back on warfarin. Would Xarelto causemy A1C to be high? I have always had very good sugar levels. | <start> Dear friend, greetings from HCM .. I appreciate your concern .. But xarelto is an anticoagulant used to prevent formation of clots inside our blood vessels .. It is an alternative to warfarin .. Yes it can cause slight increase in sugar levels .. But the incidence is very very low .. 0.1% .. HbA1c is the indicator or glycemic status over a period of 2/3 months .. I don't think it is the reason for glucose levels. Please continue the drug prescribed by your doc. Regularly .. Meet him or contact us with your blood report .. We will help you ..

106,196 | Suggest treatment for diabetes | I am a diabetic patient since last 12 years. I am on 30/70 human insulin and used to take 8 units every before lunch since last one and half years as prescribed by Enchronologist at Narayana Hrudhalaya, Bangalore. By the way, I am 67 years old. Before that, I used to take 3 mg Glimpiride tablet. On 08.12.2010, I put on my shoes and walked for about one and half mile. While walking I did not feel any pain in my feet. But after coming home and openining my shoes,I started feeling severe pain on the big toe of my left foot. Next day, I got my blood sugar tested and found the blood sugar Fasting 124 and PP 239. I immdiately consulted my physician and he diagnose the foot infection as pyronachia and prescribed some antiboitic tablet. Healso incresed the does of insulin taking 15 units before breakfast and 8 unit before dinner and advised me to test the blood glucose after 1 week. When I got my blood glucose tested, the fasting went upto 200 and pp 305. The doctor advised me get the infection surgically treated. So I got the ulcer operated and half of my big toe nail was cut. The surgeon prescribed me to take Percin antiboitic tabelts.After 1 week, I got my blood sugar tested and Fasting came down to 143 and PP 257.

I would like to be advised what action is now to be taken and since the ulcer is not curing,is there any possiblity of its turning to Gangrene? | <start> HI Thanks for posting your query. Your blood sugars are now controlled , so continue Insulin at 15--0--8 dose only . As of your ulcer is concerned , wound healing is always delayed in diabetics. Most common causes for delayed wound healing are uncontrolled blood sugars ( which is controlled in your case ) or persisting infection at the wound site. Though you have taken antibiotics the infection might have not yet been cured. I advise you to get a test called Wound swab culture sensitivity test which will detect if any infection is persisting in the wound and also will give information on which antibiotic is useful for that infection. Kindly get the test done and revert back with report. Any clarifications feel free to ask. Regards. <end> | Suggest treatment for diabetes I am a diabetic patient since last 12 years.
