Any other meds apart from Methyldopa for BP during pregnancy?

I'm not pregnant yet, but as we are trying for a baby and the GP has put me on Methyldopa for high BP as safe during pregnancy, I am also on Metformin for Diabetes and have good overall control of my Diabetes (Hb1Ac of 5.3) and I just needed some help with my high BP. I have been on the Methyldopa for nearly 3 months, 5x250mg daily and I'm absolutely shattered on it, was really hoping that the sedative effect would only be temporary but as time goes on .. I'm not so sure I will ever settle on it, any meds with possible sedative effect (ie. hayfever meds/travel sickness meds etc) have a really big effect on me to the point where I drop off to sleep in the middle of doing stuff so think this may be the reason as methyldopa can cause drowsiness, so totally confused what to do, is there anything else that others are taking during pregnancy thats considered safe? Also because of the constant tiredness ... the methyldopa is acting as a good contraceptive lol as I'm just too tired!!

Maybe hydralazine. Tell your GP about the sedation you're feeling with methyldopa - it's a common side effect so he'll understand. Pregnancy will make you fatigued anyway, so you really don't need your meds making you tired too!
Good luck!

Combining and updating the content from bothDiabetes and Pregnancy: What to ExpectandGestational Diabetes: What to Expect, this newly revised volume contains all the information needed for a woman to plan, conceive, and deliver a healthy baby.

History of Diabetes in Pregnancy (Hardcover)


$184.19


Type 1 diabetes is a serious and common disease, afflicting one per 200 of the population worldwide. It is widely believed to cause harmful physical maldevelopment--congenital malformations--and other consequences in the unborn children of women with the disease. This book considers the history of the disease in pregnant women and this belief that it causes anomalies since the time of the discovery of insulin in 1921, and presents a profound and critical appraisal of the subject of its supposed prenatal harmfulness.

Gestational Diabetes During and After Pregnancy (Hardcover)


Gestational Diabetes During and After Pregnancy (Hardcover)


$87.65


In the past decade, the perspective of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) as a benign condition limited to pregnancy has evolved into a disease with significant implications for both mother and fetus. As such, it has become a condition relevant to medical specialties beyond obstetrics. Research on the pathophysiology and clinical management of women and children with GDM has increased dramatically, however postpartum management of women with GDM and their offspring still remains less covered by research and clinicians. Research is currently being conducted (in the HAPO study) with results available in early 2008 that are expected to further inform the field about the definition of diagnostic criteria of GDM that are related to their ability to predict perinatal complications. Simultaneously, from the clinical perspective, issues regarding diagnosis and management of GDM during pregnancy have been informed by recent information from clinical trials. Recently released information from the Human Genome Project on the location of diabetes genes is expected to inform the search for GDM loci. Finally, implications for postpartum diabetes prevention and glucose intolerance have also emerged, mainly from epidemiologic data, which suggest specific reshaping of policy for postpartum mothers. To date however, this information has not been consolidated into a single source and GDM information has been limited to a single chapter in various textbooks of diabetes. Efficient synthesis of the data and information from these diverse sources is crucial to effectively prioritize interventions and assemble resources for further research, ranging from further bench investigation to the implementation of public health programs.

I have no idea what's going on. Help?

Okay. I finally got insurance after being told by the health department that I'm diabetic. I've been paying for my strips out-of-pocket (which is NOT easy) To bypass the "pre-existing condition" problem and get my insurance to pay for my strips, I went to see my new doctor to get a full work-up and to test for diabetes. I passed the fasting with an 87, the GTT with 140 at one hour and 117 at 2 hours. I've also had an A1c done, I'm still waiting on those results, but my sugars have been well controlled for quite some time now. I'm very frustrated! Does this mean I don't have diabetes? Can I go back to the days where I didn't have to really watch what I ate? Can this be a by-product of good control? What's going on here? Should I return to my old diet and exercise routine and get re-tested? Help!!

Does it mean that you don't have it? No, absolutely it doesn't

Can you go back to the old diet? Absolutely not.

Can it be a by product of good control? Absolutely, it is.

What's going on is the same thing I'm experiencing. I might test positive for prediabetes, but would not qualify as diabetic at this point in time because it's so well controlled. Call it remission, reversal, whatever you want. Just don't call it cured. Call it a warning that your faced with the idea of staying healthy the rest of your life... or else. I sorta like the idea, myself. Don't you?

May be a dumb question, but can eating too much sugar during pregnancy cause gestational diabetes?

I'm 26 weeks now and I have the glucose test coming up in a week or so. I couldn't help eating a bag of sour gummy worms. I don't really eat to much sugar, but I drink a lot of oj, and grape juice. What causes gestational diabetes?

If you have the predisposition for gestational diabetes, your diet will absolutely affect whether you get it. If you don't have that predisposition, you could eat ice cream all day and it wouldn't "cause" it. But you don't know if you are likely to get it unless you had it in an earlier pregnancy, or it runs in your family. So until you're tested, it's a good idea to avoid big loads of sugar just in case you do have glucose intolerance.

OJ and grape juice are two of the most hard-hitting fast sugars that you can ingest. That's what they prescribe diabetics whose blood sugars are falling into coma level because it can raise them so quickly. If you have reason to think you might end up with gestational diabetes then you'd want to cut those out of your diet, but unless you have reason to think that, I would just keep the treats and sweets to an occasional thing and not all the time.

I am so tired. How do I get my energy back?

I have a 31/2 yr old girl and a 14 month old boy and it seems like a I never really recovered after the baby's birth, in terms of energy and mood (both kids were born by c-section). My doctor says this is normal to be so worn out, but it just doesn't seem right to me. I've been tested for diabetes, thyroid, liver function etc. The only thing that showed up was a slightly high (6.6) on the diabetes test. She said it is still in normal range, but just to be aware.
What can I do now?
I sleep well, just not enough.

Its totally normal. My mom once told me the first four or five years, she didn't sleep a wink. Mainly because you are so overworked, and worried about the children. if this does not go away however, check with a doctor for sleep aid. Good luck! and have fun with your beautiful children!

Liver Stem Cells (Hardcover)


Liver Stem Cells (Hardcover)


$235.61


Increasing evidence suggests that liver stem cells have the capacity to differentiate into parenchymal hepatocytes or into bile ductular cells. These stem cells may be activated to proliferate after severe liver injury or exposure to hepatocarcinogens. Stem cell replacement strategies are being investigated as an alternative approach to liver repair and regeneration. Additionally, stem cell transplantation has been shown to significantly improve liver function and increase survival in experimentally-induced liver-injury models in animals. In Liver Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers focus on several hepatic progenitor cells, hepatic differentiation form stem cells, bile ductal cell formation from stem cells, liver stem cells and hepatocarcinogenesi, and application of liver stem cells for cell therapy. These topics shed light on stem cell technology which may lead to the development of effective clinical modalities for human liver diseases. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyT series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Thorough and intuitive, Liver Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols seeks to aid scientists in the further study of preclinical and clinical investigations that explore the therapeutic potential of stem cells in repair of liver injuries.

I've seen a gray ribbon with a drop of blood on it. I'm not sure if its very "official" like the pink ribbon is for breast cancer. I think gray is also used for more medical conditions too.

How do I talk to my doctor about using opiates for diabetic neuropathy?

I've asked this question a few times, but no one seems to get it. I've tried everything: Gabapentin, Pregabalin, NSAIDs, acetaminophen, foot creams. Nothing else seems to help the painful stabbing in my feet and toes and sometimes my feet are so hot they feel like they're in an oven.

I've done my research and found that Gabapentin (I take 600 mg 3x a day), when combined with an opiate can successfully knock pain levels down for people with diabetic neuropathic pain like I get. The problem is I don't want to go to my doctor asking for opioids or opiates and look like a druggie ... because that stigma certainly exists.

I'm here looking for support. What should I do?

First of all , a doctor that does not treat the pain first is a piss poor excuse for a medical professional.You treat the pain first and then the ailment.
A great non-addicting Opiate is Tramadol. I can stand the pain during the day but at nite , around 5 or 6 o'clock I take 3 capsules (50mg. each) of Tramadol . It lasts all nite , so as to sleep well.

Don't ask .Demand script for tramadol . If he refuses , get a new doctor.
I really feel sorry for us diabetics.I would say only 5 out of a 100 doctors really understand diabetes. Plus many don't care. Get the sheep in and out fast , and charge them to the hilt.

Beleive me Tramadol is great. I buy them 1000 at a time . I live in Thailand. I don't have to ask anyone , I buy over the counter. They cost me about 5 cent a piece. My metformin cost 8/10's of a cent. Also buy them by the thousands.
I take it you are American. Did you know we are 37th in the world for health care . And 50 th in the world for longetivy. What a shame , for all the money spent to greedy doctors and hospitals , insurance companies. A crying shame.
I have a great doctor here in thailand an it costs $4 a visit. My Hba1c is 5.5 , my blood pressure is 118/68 and cholesterol is 183. And no meds for the cholesterol. Plus I'm 67 years old.
Hope this little speech can help you get the courage to get the proper treatment.

Congratulations to all the kids who were born in the?

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
 
1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun.

We drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

Thanks . I know we had it good. But what happened to the children!

Diabetic comma Question, Please help.?

My friend, 30 yrs old has been in a diabetic coma 4 days When he went in his BS was at 2600. He has muscle movements like he's tring to get out of bed almost like he's having a nightmare and he opens his eyes wide but he seems confused but pneumonia has set in. What are the chances of him getting out of this? How long do these things last? His CT scan came back negative but is blood pressure is fair to low his heart rate get's high sometimes it's 108 but there were times it got up to 118. He is in good physical shape and he works out all the time. We are all praying and being hopeful but I wonder if he will be alright. We are worried about brain damage but since the CT scan came back negative that's supposed to be a good thing they are going to do a ECG for brain waves and they said that there was no swelling of the brain. If there is anyone out there please answer my questions or give me any helpful information.

As long as your friend is in good medical care he should come through this fine.
It will take some time though, weeks or even months. It can be often very difficult to get the diabetes back under control after such a severe case and the pneumonia is only going to complicate things further.
However with good medical care it will be taken care of and will turn around much more quickly once the pneumonia is cleared up.
Keep praying and talking to him.

The Smart Woman`s Guide to Diabetes (Paperback)


$11.65


"Of the 17 million Americans who have diabetes, approximately 9.3 of that number are women. And it appears that number of women with diabetes is increasing each year. Diabetes is particularly difficult for women in large part due to the hormonal changes associated with the menstrual, changes that affect blood sugar levels. As a consequence women with diabetes have higher rates of cheat pain, heart attack, coronary heart disease and stroke. And women with diabetes face special challenges. The Smart Woman`s Guide to Diabetes provides advice, tips, and research from a diverse community of women living with diabetes. It provides practical insight and references for the optimal management of diabetes from women living with the disease as well as doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and educators. Personal anecdotes from nearly one hundred women throughout the book reveal both the good and the bad of living with diabetes, including the frustration, sense of shame, sense of isolation as well as the capacity for strength and the opportunity for growth. The Smart Woman`s Guide to Diabetes lets you know that you are not alone but rather it will make you feel like you are sitting in your favorite coffee shop with your friends who share the same disease"--
