Blood Readings Varing, Unwell, Blood Stains In Shorts. Taking Glucophage, Insulin Injections For Diabetes, Hypertension, Cholesterol Medicine
II am a 45 male very overweight. I have diabetes for 7 years now. I am on insulin injections morning and night. I also take Glucophage 1000 twice a day. I am also on various drugs for blood pressure and cholesterol and so on. I have felt unwell for about a week now so I checked my bloods and got reading s ranging from 16 to 22.5. However, I went to the Gym today and when I checked my blood afterwards I was 4.5. Once I had something to eat it returned to 12. I have felt very tired, no energy, and my eyes have been quite blurred.
When was going to take a shower in the gym I noticed bright red blood stains in my shorts. I am wondering what could be the cause of this.
Thank you

Hi, thanks for the query to H.C.M.C.
Diabetes is not a disease but a bundle ( group) of diseases ).
In your's case one thing is +ve that you are obese and there is chances for you that you can reduce weight.
My dear please note that your's life is very precious so please decrease your weight and for this try ORLISTAT 120 mg after consultation of doctor.
Red colors stains may be due to diabetes so need not to worry .
If possible pl change the oral medicine of diabetes according to your's doctor advice.
Tiredness , blurred vision is a not good thing, optic nerve is most common place which effected by diabetes first of all. So be careful about eye vision.
If possible walk ( race) very rapid this will burn your extra calories from your body that is the demand of hour.
Good luck. Dr. HET

greetings friend,bright red blood in the shorts, is likely not related to your diabetes or high cholesterol. This is probably from rectal bleeding rather than urinary bleeding and if you have not had a colonoscopy, he might need one. Most common cause of the bleeding is hemorrhoids or small tears call fissures in the rectal area which can be diagnosed by a primary care doctor. the reassured, your symptoms are not urgent or life-threatening, but a source of the bleeding does need to be determined by a physician. Best of luck and have a great day.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
There are quite a few problems - blood Sugar / Blood Pressure / Cholesterol / Overweight -
Each one of these individually and in combination is bad...
Each of them can be managed successfully... Take care
The values, I presume, refer to blood sugar in millimol - you did not mention substance or unit!
If it is fluctuating, you may have to modify your treatment of diabetes ..
A long acting base line insulin / 3 short acting shots (before each meal) may be ideal...
Discuss with your doctor.
The commonest cause of painless bleeding is Haemorrhoids ('piles').
Get yourself examined by a General Surgeon...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
