How come escalate to hospitalization?

Black stools before hospitalization

 

[ahnyaahnya]

The nurse was giving me drip and I told her the tea I drank might have caused the drop in iron but she said it is the tea I drank that caused the ulcer instead, and doc put medication to stop the ulcer from bleeding (and that causes my haemo to drop)

Only tonight then I recalled I have drank so much of tea ,almost 1 litre everyday

Learned something new

The particular tea you drink? Or teas in general have that effect?

Black stools before hospitalization

What tea did you drink? Hot or cold tea?

 

[DebtfreeDilemma]

Nope because haemoglobin dropped, the doc needs to take my blood again next morning

At least my HB is normal at 77-90

BS at 10 an hr ago

What is the ward you are staying in? Any insurance coverage?

 

[DebtfreeDilemma]

On the chair but I no poop so never
They give me the urinal pot so I can just pee at my area instead of pulling the devices and tubes to the toilet

Yes risk fall

How come now so serious got to be hospitalized with tubes? Just last week you were ok

 

[1982-1994]

What tea did you drink? Hot or cold tea?

Warm tea
Hawthorn, burdock, chrysanthemum

 

[1982-1994]

What is the ward you are staying in? Any insurance coverage?

B ward , yes ,just need to pay 5%

 

[1982-1994]

If you took your BS reading at 1.08am, it is unlikely to be accurate

I don't know ,at least I haven't been eaten anything ever since at 0030h on 19th, hoping my pancreas is recovering slowly at the same time too

 

[1982-1994]

Maybe like what the nurse said, I had been drinking so much tea that it caused the ulcer
She claimed that she had read my report

[BleuBunni]

How did you get low red blood cell? Thought usually affect women with periods

 

[DebtfreeDilemma]

Diabetes ,low HDL, low red blood cell ,overweight

One condition will always lead to another new condition. More tests will be conducted and lead to even more discovery of conditions. That’s the cycle of being hospitalized

Felt very bad twice when peeing recently,machiam I would collapse anytime so I sat on the stool for awhile before I left the bathroom

Have just seen the doc earlier on and my blood sugar reading is a freaking 18.3 despite I am taking Metformin and statins everyday
Heart beat at 137 (as of now 100) with normal BP, even did ECG and was told to go for blood test tmr
Doc said I'll uplorry within the next 3 years if I carry on with my current diet
And advised me to go diabetic center to have my legs screened

Since the op on 20th March till today, my blood sugar surged for another 7.2 points!!!!!


My questions, do 100+ zero,white rice and the mentioned fruits caused such a high spike within a month? And how many points can the blood sugar drop with OMAD? Don't want to poke my finger every night unless really no choice since have to keep track

If I never jiak yok, the reading would have been unimaginable sky high

Purpose of this thread is to motivate myself to keep my health on track
I missed my 7.3 reading a year ago and my mood was down but now, I was so shock

If I never online here either means I tio banned or my wife becomes a widow


Expecting scoldings, bashing,more than 30 pages and a lot of shockening reactions from NAO

Weight 90

Two days after this thread

You are diabetic. It is a very common condition.

Many different medications. Classes of medication. You are only just on Metformin. Take the other classes.


https://diabetes.org/health-wellness/medication/oral-other-injectable-diabetes-medications

• Metformin
• Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (Trajenta, Januvia)
• Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and dual GLP-1/gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) receptor agonists (Ozempic, Trulicity)
• Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (Forxiga, Invokana, Jardiance)
• Sulfonylureas (less favored now)
• Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) (not used anymore due to increased risk of heart failure)
• Alpha Glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose) mostly for post prandial hyperglycemia
• Insulin

People tend to be so adverse to taking medication but diet and lifestyle modification is very tough to make overnight and see results right away. More often than not leads to more problems with that sort of approach.

Just take the meds first. Get it under control. Then modify your lifestyle and diet. If the readings improve then can wean off your medication list.
