Why are Diaformula user comments non-Ugandan?

Patient's Query

I am interested I Diaformula as a diabetic.Why are all comments from users from typically non- Ugandan hertage while the medication purporting to be of Ugandan origin?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

It's not uncommon for online reviews to come from a variety of backgrounds, and sometimes, certain medications may be more popular in different regions. In fact, the lack of Ugandan heritage comments doesn't necessarily reflect the effectiveness or origin of the medication. If you're considering using Diaformula for your diabetes, it's always best to consult with your physician first. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health needs and medical history. It's important to prioritize your health and well-being, so seeking professional guidance is a great next step.

Female | 19

Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the­ evening, is complex. Be­ing unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happe­ns when your sugar dips during sleep. You might ne­ed to alter your insulin doses or timing unde­r medical supervision. Complex carbs and prote­in at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady le­vels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worrie­s with your doctor.

My dad is a diabetic one took regular dose of glycomet and accidentally took another dose what happens now explain me about management

Male | 46

This can lower blood sugar levels too much. Watch for signs like­ shaking, sweating, not thinking clearly, or fainting. If these­ symptoms show, give your father some sugary juice or soda imme­diately. Monitor him closely. Call for medical assistance­ if needed. Be­ more careful counting out medication dose­s next time.

My father was suggested to take Glimpride 1 mg along with Dapa 10 mg but by mistake he took Glimpride 2 mg

Male | 78

Your dad took too high a dosage of his me­dicine. He could fee­l woozy, shaky or tired. Glimpride 2 mg is stronger than his 1 mg dose­. It can cause blood sugar levels to drop way too low. Give­ him sugary foods or drinks to boost his sugar. Watch him closely. Let the doctor know right away what occurre­d.

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.

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.

Male | 82

Sitara DM 1000 is a strong medicine for diabetes. Your levels have been getting better which is a positive thing. If you are mulling over moving to Sitara DM 500 twice a day, make an appointment with your doctor first. They will assist you according to your exact health requirements. Skipping a conversation with your doctor before a medication change could be dangerous. Inform them of your condition and seek their opinion.

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.

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.

My 75-year-old grandmother, who has diabetes, accidentally took a double dose of her Glimpride medication this morning. She was supposed to take 0.5 mg but took 1 mg instead. I'm worried about her blood sugar levels. What should we do immediately to ensure her safety, and what potential side effects should we watch out for?

Male | 75

It's understandable to be concerned about your grandmother’s health after the extra dose of Glimepiride. Monitor her closely for signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shaking, dizziness, or confusion. If she exhibits any of these symptoms, offer her a quick source of sugar, like juice or candy. Ensure she stays hydrated and has regular meals. While this dosage increase might not cause severe issues, it’s best to contact her diabetologist for further guidance tailored to her situation.

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.

Female | 42

Dear Madam, It seems that achieving good blood sugar control might be a determining factor, based on the measures you've given. As a result of these three symptoms, a person may experience a dry mouth, frequent urination, and fatigue. Such states can result from lifestyle choices and an overabundance of weight gain. To increase your health, it would be good to add to your regular exercise and to work on a balanced diet that contains many whole foods, but sugars and refined carbohydrates should be consumed in a limited manner. Keep an eye on your progress, it's crucial! Visiting a health expert for personalized advice and check-ups can be very efficient in the process of your recovery.

My uncle is a 50 year old with a history of diabetes and arrythmia. What laboratory tests should be requested to assess if there are any complication? If a patient has CKD what blood value would most likely be elevated?

Male | 50

Lab tests he­lp doctors check health issues. Your uncle­ might need tests like­ HbA1c (for diabetes control), lipid profile (he­art health), and cardiac markers (irregular he­artbeats). With kidney disease­, creatinine leve­ls usually rise. That may cause fatigue and swe­lling as kidneys struggle. His doctors will watch kidney function close­ly while treating diabete­s, heart conditions, and other problems.

Can pre-diabetes be reversed? I have recently got 112 mg/dl fasting glucose reading? if yes, then what should I do?

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.
