Q. Dr. Grady,
I have been diagnosed with Paget's disease and was wondering what the treatments might be. The documentation says I should be seen by an endochrinologist.

Experienced spontaneous diarrhea-self discontinued Lantus. Changed metformin to glumetza with no further diarrhea. Poor SMBG (>300mg/dL). Lantus 50 units with gradual increase (one unit/HS). No improvement, added Humalog 5-10 units ac. Flatulation experienced. Can you explain this embarrassing GI event? Q. Can you give me an updated list of the medications that contain metformin? I try to keep up on the list for work
I have 14 meds currently and need to see if more were added. Thank youQ. Hi If diagnosed w/ hypthyroidism, pcos on metformin500mg bid, levoxyl 50mcg daily, zyrtec 10mg daily and lexapro 20 mg daily and all labs are in range so I am therapeutic is it possible to still be tired enough to sleep 15hrs a day???????????Q. I am a type 2 fifty-six year old female who has been using Lantus for about 18 months. My overall control is consistantly good since starting Lantus (A1Cs are 6.0 - 6.2) and I am pleased that my fasting bg levels are usually in the 80s and 90s range. However, every 2-3 months I will get a fasting reading in the 60s, and bg levels stay lower than usual for the rest of the day. I always exercise after dinner, never have a snack between dinner and bedtime, and inject the Lantus at 10:00pm every night. Could this be an error with the way I am injecting when I get the fasting 60s reading?Q. Do you have any advice for a 10 year old boy about foot care. He is diabetic.Q. What does GLP-1 in the cartoon stand for?Q. I have a love/hate relationship with my Lantus insulin! I love how it controls my blood sugars ( it's the only med that can control my fasting blood sugars) but hate the fact that it seems to cause weight gain, especially in my abdomen. I am 56 years old, have been a T2 for 3 years, and I'm also on Metformin and Starlix. What exercises/other solutions can help me get rid of the abdominal fat? I currently run 2-3 mi. per day, do 30 crunches per day, and do some free weights.Q. How do statins work?Q. I'm 48, have T2D, and I've been taking insulin for the past two years. I exercise once a week and eat right. Is inhaled insulin an option? Q. WHAT ARE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES?Q. I don't know the difference between Lantus and symlin, I'm type 1 and insulin resist. Which would work better to controle sugar levels in such casesQ. what organs control your blood sugar levels what hormones are involved?Q. My mom has diabetes. Will i get it too?Q. I need a simple chart for foods which I cannot eat.Q. What is the possible impact of an epidural steroid injection on my blood sugars? Q. I'm a 52yr old type 1 diabetic for 32yrs now who has kept tight control on blood sugars. But for a long time now I either refuse to or can't recognize low blood sugars. I test 10 times a day now & have been testing first by urine then with blood since day one. I've taken about a dozen abulances due to low sugars,& have passed-out I don't know how many times. The past couple years by myself I come-to a few hours after passing out & with some effort manage to help myself. I've cut-up my face & head & knocked teeth out due to mishaps. I can't be liking this. Not being alone now when I come-to & my wife or emergency response are around me I think I'd rather have not come-to! Am I normal,& do I need an endocronologist or a phyciatrist?? Sorry for the long note,& thank-you. Sincerely,Neil LevyQ. I have many concerns as well as diabetes. I'm interested in asking my doctor about the possibility of substituting byetta for current insulin (my last A1c was 7.3 which is down from initial of 11.0) or asking about combining the amylin and exenalin(sp) to my insulin therapy.
I have not been diagnosed but seem to be a candidate for having PCOS (Syndrome O). It's been hard for me to have the energy to exercise and the results have been less than successful. I have HepC (w/ a cirrhotic and "fatty" liver) so that blocks the use of a lot of medications that might help me (as well as clinical trials).
How do I go about putting this to my internist so that I can be referred to an endocrinologist with a background in these conditions, and new additional substances that I have never, before coming to this website, heard about?
While I don't want to come off as a "know-it-all", I do know a little something about me and my health history that seems to have been ignored in the past due to changing insurance coverage and practitioners. I just want to feel better before I die...Q. How much does stress effect diabetes, and what to do if you can't avoid stress. Stressed out in CaliforniaQ. I’m pregnant. Can I pass on diabetes to my unborn child?Q. If my mom has diabetes, will I get it? Are there things I can be doing to prevent getting diabetes?Q. Can I control my diabetes without having to use insulin injections?Q. How many people have diabetes? Is it hereditary?
