I observed that I always lose weight, thirsty, feel hungry, have headache and feel tired most times, urinate frequently and its usually foams. So I went to do fasting glucose test, and the result was 141mg/dl
. The Medical Lab Scientist advised me to see a dr immediately. She said it is pre-diabetes. Mum and Dad are both diabetic. Can a 27 year old have it? anytime I eat carbohydrate meal it gets worse.
What can I do pls? I don't want such a thing

My brother, these are indeed some of the telling symptoms of diabetes especially as both parents have it. However it could also be a pointer to some sort of issues with your urinary system especially inflections.
I'd advice that you go ahead and do a urinalysis(test) then let us know about the result.
PS: Its also safe if you begin now to make necessary lifestyle adjustments to your diet. Avoid or limit as much as possible, refined sugars in it's many forms.

Thanks. Recently, my gf went to the hospital because of pains in her stomach all the time. She did some tests and scan and it was revealed that she has candida albican and the doctor prescribed fluconazole and some other drugs and also told her to tell me to use the fluconazole since we usually have unprotected sex. Could this also be part of it?

I just finished using Lumartem(antimalaria drug) and my whole body is shaking
What could have caused this and my heart is beating so fast

frenchwine:

The lumefantrine component of Lumatem is known to cause palpitations(racing heart) and occasional dizziness(esp if you didn't eat prior to taking the drug) in a few persons.
You maybe one of the few.
You would do well to visit a hospital and be properly checked up.
Meanwhile, get something to eat, drug prescription is out it on this forum.

Good afternoon house. Please I have headache from toothache and it is seriously bothering me. Although it is not too severe, I am feeling feverish, had a yellow urine. I have been to dentists, but only C and S was done. It is one particular tooth (left upper premolar) so I wouldn't know what's wrong with that tooth. What do you suggest?

Hello house. I been feeling internal tiredness for about 2 years now. I've done scan to check my liver, kidney and bladder, all were OK. I've done blood count tests too, all were confirmed OK. I even did urinalysis and urine culture test, Staphylococcus was found there. I was given cefuroxime tablet which I used. But the fatigue persists. Now my urine is foamy and yellow most times and my mouth is usually dry.
Also have an ear infection for a very long time now which itches, even after ear Syringing which flushed out candida.
Doctors abeg help o
