Diabetic Symptoms Posted: 11-11-05 23:54pm
I am a type 2 diabetic who is taking
avandamet 2/500 two times a day and I am
starting to have very bad dizzy spells and
nausea issues. As well my blood sugar is
typically 115 waking and then down to the
80's for the rest of the day. A1c is at
6.1; my doctor says to just exercise more
and lose more weight however, I dont have
the energy to do so. Anyone have a clue
as to what I should be looking out for.
My night vision is also getting worst. I
am a 34 year old male 5'8 and about 261
lbs.

Omg!! I am now having the same types of
problems!! I am also type 2 diabetic and
on metformin and glipizide. My blood
sugar has been running high up to a month
and a half ago. At that time my doc did
a 3 month test to check my bs and it wsa
still high. I had lost my meter and just
got another one last thurs and was able to
check my bs. Now, I am finding that it
is running low!!! I am also getting
really bad symptoms. I am getting
dizziness, fatigue, irritable, unsteady on
my feet, slight slurred speech. It is
horrible! Im calling my doc on monday
for an appt! Good luck to you!

Hi, I ran into your message quite
accidentally while researching about some
details on diabetes and thought of sharing
some of my findings.Diabetes is a
life-long disease marked by high levels of
sugar in the blood. There is no cure for
diabetes. The immediate goals are to
stabilize your blood sugar.
The acute management of hypoglycemia
involves the rapid delivery of a source of
easily absorbed sugar. Regular soda,
juice, lifesavers, table sugar, and the
like are good options.
I hope the above is of some help to you as
well.

Diabetic Symptoms Posted: 01-03-07 15:43pm
I have diabetes for the last 5 yrs. I am
taking metformin 4 x a day. My daily
blood sugar is very much under control,
about 110 to 130 during the day time. I
usually take 1 pill just before bedtime
and also take my bs and it usually reads
between 130 to 170. Then the next
morning, my reading is about 150 or 160.
If before bedtime, I can be very low, 102
or 112, my next morning reading is even
higher. If my bedtime reading is 180 or
higher, then my next morning is good,
about 130. It just does not make sense to
me. However my doc explain to me that my
body just produce sugar to prevent me
going to hypo. He also wanted me to take
glipizide at bedtime so my bs will be 130
or lower. I really do not want to take
any more medication as my body is very
sensitive to medications. I just want to
know if any body has this problems and can
share with me or give me some
tips/suggestions.
