Dr. Anita Raghuwanshi MD's Expert Contributions
  • What are the common symptoms of people with undiagnosed diabetes?

    Usually dry mouth, urinating more than usual, being abnormally thirsty and/or hungry, and if severe, blurry vision, dizziness, and weight loss... READ MORE

  • Will insulin be difficult to get during the coronavirus?

    Depends on where you live, of course, but as a rule pharmacies are considered essential services so will always be allowed to stay open. READ MORE

  • Food and nausea?

    Sounds like the stomach producing too much gastric and gas... in which case I would eat a few saltines while cooking. Unless it varies with the type of food being cooked, in which case I would stick to milder vegetable dishes. READ MORE

  • Can being on too much thyroid medicine cause quick episodes of dizziness?

    Yes, definitely, as well as Atrial Fibrillation, insomnia, muscle cramps, and in the long term will cause osteoporosis. READ MORE

  • What doctor do you see for a hormone imbalance?

    Hormones are the territory of endocrinologists. Your child should see a pediatric endocrinologist. READ MORE

  • What is the best breakfast for a diabetic to eat?

    A veggie-filled egg white omelet. Or if you can’t eat eggs, then substitute tofu chunks...and still lots of veggies... or 8oz of plain Greek yogurt with a couple of blueberries and almond slices. READ MORE

  • Is a thyroid function test painful?

    It’s Just a blood test. READ MORE

  • Can you take insulin without needles?

    There is inhaled insulin, called “Afrezza” but most insurances don’t cover it. READ MORE

  • Does being overweight make it harder for me to lose weight?

    Being overweight for any extended period of time does mean that it will be harder for you than for naturally normal weight people to maintain a normal weight. Being overweight means that your “weight setpoint” which is the specific body weight that your body tries to maintain, will be permanently higher. Being overweight means that very likely you metabolism is genetically slower than naturally normal weight people. READ MORE

  • What is the best weight loss pill for metabolic syndrome?

    The best weight management medication for someone with Metabolic syndrome would be one that actually treats insulin resistance, like Saxenda. (Belviq also used to help with insulin resistance, but it was taken off the market.) That being said, any weight loss is better than none when it comes to Metabolic Syndrome, so if all you can afford is phentermine, that’s better than nothing (as long as your heart is healthy enough to use it.) READ MORE

  • Is maxillofacial surgery advisable for a diabetes patient?

    It depends on how well her diabetes is controlled. If her A1c <7.0% she should be ok. If it is >8.5% she won’t heal well so the surgery should be delayed until her sugars are better controlled. READ MORE

  • Is it possible for a 34 year old to suffer from diabetic neuropathy?

    Yes, of course it’s possible. Especially if your A1c has been above 8% historically.... READ MORE

  • What is the best way to stop bleeding in a diabetic patient?

    Who told you diabetics are at a higher risk of bleeding? Patients with liver disease are at a higher risk of bleeding, and many Type 2 diabetics have fatty liver disease due to obesity, but for diabetics without liver disease, in general the opposite is true. They are at risk of blood clots and strokes because high sugars make the blood more viscous (thicker), and inflammatory cytokines make blood more likely to clot. This is one of the many reasons diabetics have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke. READ MORE

  • If I avoid medicines and concentrate on lifestyle, can I win over diabetes?

    It depends on how much insulin your body is able to make. Have your doctor order a C-peptide level. If your c-peptide is high, then your diabetes is still in the reversible stage, and you can likely manage your diabetes with a combination of diet, exercise, and stress management. If your C-peptide is low, then your pancreas has been damaged to the point where you will not be able to go without medications entirely, but diet and exercise will still help minimize the number of medications you will have to take. READ MORE

  • Do natural remedies help in reversing diabetes type 1?

    Absolutely not. Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune. Nothing can reverse it. Vitamin D may help prevent additional autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, celiac disease or vitiligo from also developing.... READ MORE

  • Does insulin cause weight gain?

    Yes. This is expected. Without Insulin, your body was unable to access the nutrition in the food you were eating so you were surviving by digesting your own fat and muscle.... and urinating out a great deal of sugar and calories. With insulin the body can absorb the sugar in food. It then burns this sugar to give you energy... what sugar is not burned will be stored away in fat cells for later use. For this reason everyone tends to gain some weight after being started on insulin. READ MORE

  • What should be the ideal HbA1C for a diabetic patient?

    This is a slightly more controversial question than you would expect. The simple answer is that you would like your A1c to be as low as possible without experiencing hypoglycemia. So if you could get to an A1c of 6.5% or lower without hypoglycemia, that would be great. However as people age, the risk of hypoglycemia becomes greater because it stresses the heart.... so for older individuals, endocrinologists generally use the rule of thumb of keeping A1c READ MORE

  • Can yoga be used to treat diabetes?

    Exercise in general, including yoga, helps muscles burn sugar as fuel. Therefore, yes, yoga would be an excellent addition to your husband’s diabetes care plan, along with a low-starch diet and whatever meds his doctor prescribes. READ MORE

  • When does medication start for diabetes?

    140 is not borderline. It is full Diabetes. I start meds at a fasting sugar of 126 or higher. Sometimes even earlier. It takes at least 5 years of poor sugar control for fasting sugars to rise that much since the first sugars to rise are usually the after-meal sugars in the pre-diabetes stage.... fasting sugar elevations mean a great deal of pancreatic insulin production has already been lost. READ MORE

  • Do medicines lose their effectiveness if taken for a long period of time?

    Yes. Drugs in the sulfonyuria class “glyburide, glipizide, glimepiride, glibenclimide” stop working after about 15-20 years because the pancreas’ ability to produce insulin gets exhausted after about 20 years of having diabetes. The pancreas scarrs down from prolonged inflammation and beta cells (which make insulin) die off over time. READ MORE
