I'm really worried because we've had to increase the insulin dose to get blood sugar under control, and now there's swelling in the face and feet. Could this be a side effect of more insulin? What should we do about it?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having chest pain and her ECG was abnormal, but her echo and TMT came out okay. Her blood tests showed she has diabetes and her thyroid level was at 10. The doctor gave her meds for the sugar and thyroid issues, but she's still in pain. What could be going on, and what should we do next?

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's continuing chest pain. Given that her ECG was abnormal but the echocardiogram (echo) and treadmill test (TMT) were normal, it's important to explore other potential causes of her chest pain, such as gastrointestinal issues, musculoskeletal problems, or anxiety. Since she has been diagnosed with diabetes and thyroid issues, it's critical to manage these conditions properly, as they can sometimes contribute to chest pain. I recommend a follow-up with her healthcare provider to reassess her symptoms, review her medication regimen, and possibly consider additional tests like a chest X-ray or a consultation with a gastroenterologist depending on her symptoms.
