Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I really feel sorry for you as you are going through very tough times.

Complications like renal failure, Urinary incontinence are common in long standing diabetes.

If the sputum has bright red color then it could be due to conditions like Tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary infarction etc. If the sputum is dark red in color then it could be due to an upper Gastrointestinal bleed.

I would like to know whether you were diagnosed diabetic. If yes, when were you diagnosed?

Also please do specify about what you want to know from me, how can I be of help here?

Waiting for your response,
