I've been dealing with diabetes and lately, I've been having some trouble with my breathing and my sugar levels are pretty high too. Is there any way to manage or cure these issues? I'm really worried and just looking for some advice.
A diabetic patient experiencing breathing difficulties and high blood sugar levels may be experiencing a condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This is a serious complication of diabetes that requires immediate medical attention. To address the breathing problems, the patient may need oxygen therapy to ensure proper oxygen levels in the blood. In terms of managing high blood sugar levels, the patient may require insulin therapy to help lower blood sugar levels effectively. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels closely and adjust insulin doses as needed. Additionally, ensuring proper hydration is crucial in managing DKA. It is essential for the patient to seek medical help promptly to receive appropriate treatment and prevent further complications.

My 80-year-old grandma has toxic multinodular goiter her thyroid scan showed high uptake, T3 and T4 are elevated, and TSH is very low. The doctor suggested neomercazole for six weeks followed by surgery, but she's hesitant about the operation. She's had an enlarged thyroid for years with no swallowing or breathing issues, just some breathlessness when walking. Could medication alone manage her hyperthyroidism, or is surgery really necessary in her case? She's worried about going under the knife at her age. Also, should we start the neomercazole as prescribed?
