Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Urinary And Bowel Incontinence While Suffering From Diabetes?
My husband has Type II diabetes. His A1C has decreased at his last doctor s appointment. His weight has gone down each of the last several appointments, even though I don t think he is eating much less and know he is not exercising more. He also does not follow a diabetic type diet. Recently his breath has been smelling just like my student (I work in a public elementary school) when her blood sugar is running very high. In the last couple weeks he has had intermittent urgency of urine and bowels. Yesterday, he didn t make it to the bathroom at home before he was urinating and shortly after he had a BM. What do you think? Can we wait until his next doctor appointment in mid-late Nov? Thanks. My email is YYYY@YYYY
Asper your history he has diabetic patient ,may I know what medication he is taking right now and what is his sugar level last time?See whether he is taking vitamin B complex or not.Take regularly and it has no relation with urinary and bowel incontinence.Check whether he has herniated disk or myelites by doing brain and spinal CT scan.
