Diabetic Patient: Left Arm Numbness at Night
m a diabetic patient ifeel my left arm feels vacant while sleeping in night
General Physician
Answered on 15th June '24
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.

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.
Female | 27
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.

i have diabetes for 2yrs or more but till last year my repriductive organ is normal but forcpast 2months when masterbating also my organ is smaller in size.. but ejaculation occurs normal but size is small. is it due to diabetes or over masterbation
Male | 32
Diabetes mellitus can actually be an obstacle to male and female reproductive functions. Persistent high blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage and blood flow restriction as well as a hormonal imbalance. Moreover, temporary swelling haemorrhage due to the fatigued tissues may be caused by excessive masturbation. This one, I should say, requires the patients and doctors to focus on the effective management of diabetes through medication, proper diet, and regular exercise. Recommend you to visit a urologist for personalized treatment.

Male | 63
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.

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!

My name is Minal Gupta. My fasting sugar level first time 110 and HBA1C level 5.7%. Is it normal?
Female | 31
A fasting sugar level of 110 is slightly higher than healthy, while an HBA1C level of 5.7% is considered within the normal range. High fasting sugar levels can be caused by not eating well. To deal with this, strive for a balanced diet and move your body more by engaging in light exercises or taking walks. Consult a doctor before taking any more steps.

High blood sugar of 262 been high for 4 days
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. This may be due to not taking diabetes medication, eating too much sugary food, or lack of exercise. To reduce it, try drinking water, eating healthy foods, and moving more. If this still doesn't help, you should go to a doctor.

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.

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.

Tingling, numbness, burning - those might be signs of diabetic neuropathy for those with diabetes. It happens when high blood sugar levels harm foot nerves. To tackle it: control blood sugar through good eating, exercise, and medications your doctor recommends. Get foot exams often, take good care of your feet too.

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.

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.
