Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Based on your description, it appears that your father has had poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus for at least seven months. Although he was initially started on Metformin, his blood glucose remained elevated, leading to the initiation of insulin therapy. However, the symptoms you are describing, like abdominal pain, weight loss, swelling of the feet, and yellowing of the eyes, may not be directly related to insulin.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From your history, I could understand that you are suffering from uncontrolled type 2 diabetes for one month. Usually, uncontrolled blood sugars may not initially show symptoms, that does not mean it is safe to have high blood sugars for a long time. We are controlling sugars to prevent complications which are usually manifested five to ten years later. In your case, the blood sugars might have slightly lowered after stopping drinks that might be causing relative hypoglycemia symptoms, which usually will be over within a couple of weeks.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From your history it is evident that you are on replacement therapy for hypothyroidism post-radioactive iodine, and also known diabetic since 6 months. From your history, age and other parameters it is type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is not only carbohydrates which contributes to the same. Insulin resistance is the main culprit.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From your history, I have noted that your mother was diagnosed with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and was on insulin since one month. Now on review, yesterday it was found that it is under control with the present dose of insulin. Coming to your concern, insulin will not cause fever, whatever dose you are taking. But uncontrolled diabetes can be a trigger for infections like urinary infections, chest infections, and even be more cautious about insulin site infections if you are not properly injecting.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the above history, it is noted that you are having a strong family history of diabetes and also you have been noted with prediabetic range blood sugars in the past. Coming to your query, it is ideal to have less than 100 mg/dl blood sugars after 12 to 16 hours post meal. But we cannot label you as prediabetic or diabetic by noting a single value. So I would take it as a prediabetic state, if you have been noted with increased blood sugars in this range on multiple occasions or if three months average blood sugars are between 5.
