Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 You are correct. No 2 people with diabetes are alike. I was diabetic for 66 years before I had to go on dialysis. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2012 7:16 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: Help needed , thank you for your e-mail. Joe's has no swelling in feet, legs or abdomen. He is on 2 water pills a day. His level of chemicals are ok, Doctor has no concern there. Doctor has told Joe his AGE plus Diabetes were the reasons. I am not bragging but no means because I am no angel but this July I have this disease 40 years. Joe has only had it 12 years. You can not compare any 2 people everyone is different. Thanks for your help. and Joe Help needed Hi everyone, have a few questions and hope you will help Joe my husband and I out. Steadily over the last 6 months which is 3 times getting blood work done for our Kidney Doctor Joe's Creatin has really been going up. When Joe saw the Doctor in May his level was 3.8, yesterday he went for blood work and had done a 24 urine collection and the nurse called and said the creatin was 4.2. Joe's appointment is June 13th, and on June 11th doctor wants him to get another blood test done. Our question is what level is to the point dialysis is needed. Doctor did tell Joe his total kidney function was 20 percent. To us that is pretty low and something should be done. So if someone can help out we would appreciate it. Thanks, and Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
