So I am a transplant patient and my sugar leveles were 14 today which is really high. They're normally 5 or so. If it turns out i am developing diabetes or have developed it will the changes be reversable if due to my medication or will i be stuck with it for the rest of my life like the way i am with for my kidney transplant.I Have been sleeping a lot now that i start thinking about it but i am not sure if thats just paranoia creeping in right now
what type of diabetes would it be is what i mean? Type 1 or 2
B - YES it could be if you research into kidney functions you kidneys remove waste products from you blood anything can trigger of diabetes or it can just happen my 13 year old cousin went on a diet and 1 weeks later he was in hospital in a coma with type one diabetes they said the diet and exercise probably triggered it.
ReplyDeleteit could be either but if you haven't experienced any fits or anything i would say it will most likely be type 2 which mean you can still each your favorite food just sensibly and eating healthy you can still have a normal live with diabetes. If it is type 2 count your self lucky you cont have to inject insulin for the rest of your life :) like type one
but im sure you'll be fine and the doctors will soon get you back to a healthy lifestyle good luck :)
Josh - Common misnomer about diabetes and the reason why many people stay Type II: You can't eat your "favorite foods" if they contain carbohydrates. The answer isn't sticking yourself with medications to compensate for poor eating choices.
ReplyDeleteIf I were you, get a second diagnosis. This is your life on the line.
kyle - btw i am the person answering the question under my sisters accounts and if anything you lot have completely read my question wrong. I am not overweight nor have I ever been. In fact at one time i was under weight. This is just to do with my medications so none of you have a clue.
ReplyDeleteJOSH THE MEDICATIONS AREN'T ANYTHING TO DO WITH DIABETES. THEY ARE CAUSING IT NOT PREVENTING IT
Kai - I think this happens a lot in kidney transplant patients. One of the guys in my diabetes class had a kidney transplant and was now having to deal with Type 2 diabetes as well as the kidney things. Something about the drugs you have to take to keep the kidney from being rejected tampers with your liver or pancreas or something [I really don't know what but it sounded like it was pretty common]. Talk to your doctor--ask him to send you to the diabetes training classes so you can learn how you can take control of your blood glucose. You should also ask him to prescribe a dietician for you to take to since you are in a very special Type 2 group and probably will have slightly different goals and face different types of problems.
ReplyDeleteLauren - Ι think it is better seeing a doctor in person to answer this kind of questions.
