What could be wrong the doctor said that the result of the chest xray reveals liquid and enlarged he
You need to go back to your provider and ask questions - the exact ones you're asking here. There are virtually NO experts who contribute to this forum. You should ask your physician to refer you to a Certified Diabetes Educator - a very highly trained and specialized person who can answer your questions, and more importantly, help you devise more appropriate self-monitoring measures and a proper diet.
Diabetes is a killer, no doubt about it. I've had the God D*mn disease for a dozen years and I have the academic background to understand and deal with it. And it's still hard for me!
It's NEVER too late to get control of your health. But do it right and don't monkey-putz around with "herbal" or "complementary" remedies - they'll cost you an arm and a leg and they will hasten your death. Capisce?
This sounds like congestive heart failure (CHF). Follow your Dr's advise to the letter. Fluid is backing up because your heart can not pump it efficiently.
Your doc did not leave anything out. You have fluid on the lungs and heart which is not uncommon. This happens often to people espescially those with heart and lung problems. Diuretics are what is used to get rid of the fluid. You need to be sure to put on a pair of very good support hose BEFORE you get out of bed in the morning since you legs are swelling. Once you put the legs down off the bed it is of no use to use the support stockings as fluid and blood has already pooled down by your feet and you run the risk of causing the blood to for a clot in your legs. You also need to elevate your legs as often as you can. If you have a standing job you may need to take a medical leave until you get this controlled. If you sit down at a desk for your job then bring something you can prop your feet up on while you work. Even a wastebasket with a pillow to put your legs on is better than nothing. At night you need to elevate your legs on pillows or a wedge and try to get them higher than your heart. As for your glucometer run your control checks to be sure your machine is functioning properly and also check to be sure your machine is set to the number on your bottle of strips. If your machine checks out ok then update your doc about your blood sugars so he can advise you what he wants done next. One rule of thumb here......if your doc doesn't explain things clearly as in "he has nottodl me why it is so" then YOU need to SPEAK up and ASK him what is causing your problems.
Please please please just ring your Dr and ask them - DEMAND to know what is going on and the possible risks. They HAVE to tell you what is wrong (I presume you are in the UK?). Don't go posting stuff on the net where people are going to make stupid comments like you are going to die in 8 months! If you have a heart problem the stress will make it ten times worse!
You are retaining fluid. Do you drink water? I didn't say diet cokes, tea, these dehydrate. The medical issues you have describe cause fluid retention, and you can still be dehydrated. Water... first choice to herbal/alternative medicines.
