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.

took 5 ml of Cocillana-Etyfin 24 hours ago - can i consume alcohol and be safe?
Male | 22
Mixing Cocillana-Etyfin and alcohol is risky. Both substances slow the central nervous system. This combo can make you dizzy and sleepy and cause breathing issues. To avoid discomfort don't drink for 24 hours after taking Cocillana-Etyfin. Stay safe and be careful!

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.

Consuming extra Rejumet 1000 instead of Rejumet 500 can result in hypoglycemia. Symptoms could entail being shaky, tired, confused, or sweaty. If this occurs, eating something sweet, like candy or juice, can help. It's essential to inform the doctor and get the proper medication.

Which fruits are good for diabetes
Berries, apples, oranges: ideal fruits for diabetes. Less sugar than others. You can enjoy them; they help regulate blood sugar levels. But be smart: eat proper portions. Pair fruits with protein or healthy fats to slow sugar absorption. Balance is crucial for managing diabetes through diet.

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.

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.

I am diabetic having Hba1c 6.6 and below upto 6.3 for last 2 years. My problem is that every time my mouth remains dry even after drinking water frequently. Since I don't have any idea to whom I need to consult regarding this,I consulted Dentist in this regard. He advised me to use SALEVA,a solution for dry mouth twice a day. It relieves for some hours but for remaining time,I am not comfortable. My mouth becomes so dry that I donot find any sputum most of the time and hence facing swallowing problem. As per the advice of dentist I am using sugar free chewing gum 'ORBIT' also. Please suggest, what to do.
Male | 67
Dry mouth is uncomfortable. You have diabetes. Your high Hba1c levels cause it. Diabetes damages nerves, reducing saliva flow. Dry mouth makes swallowing hard, causing other problems too. Use products your dentist advised. Sip water frequently. Avoid caffeine. Stay hydrated. If it persists, consult your doctor or endocrinologist. They'll explore treatment options.

Female | 51
The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!
