can a hemodialysis may affect blood glucose level?

When you have dialysis, the process removes most things from your blood, including all of the sugar.  The result is low blood sugar.  Be sure to eat prior to dialysis & have a light snack after to help prevent this.

The symptoms have been mentioned already: most common is thirst and urination, as a result of trying to satisfy the overwelming thirst.  You are borderline if your blood glucose is between 120 and 140.  If you go over 140 then you are diabetic.  "Normal" is 80 to 120 and that varies between individuals.  A simple blood glucose test will tell you what you need to know.  If you know anyone that has diabetes you can ask them to run the test on yourself and in less that one minute you will have your answer.  Blood glucose tests are usually done two hours after eating a meal.  If you get over 140 see a doctor, specifically an endocrinologist that deals with diabetic patients.\n\nGood luck.

Yes it can lead into diabetes if you are not careful, if your blood suger gets low use glucose tabs, peanut butter, eggs, or juice to level it out, but never sugary candy, watch your candy intake, I too have this problem

Over time the fluctuation in blood sugar levels causes damage to various systems of the body.  In this case the peripheral nerves and blood vessels are affected.  The nerves to the feet and extremities often slowly die resulting in a diabetic nephropathy (death of nerves).  As such diabetics may knock or damage their legs and not realise.\n\nAlso diabetics tend to have other chronic diseases and may be on drugs to thin their blood such as warfarin.  As such they would bruise more easily and extensively.  In the UK diabetics are entitled to regular free chiropody checks to make sure their feet are ok.\n\nThere is not much that can be done really to my knowledge.  Aim for tighter glucose control but often the damage has already been done.  However the glucose control is still very important for all the rest of the body's systems.

The doctors take a liver test just to be sure that the disease is not effecting the liver.  Some of the medications that are given to control blood glucose have an effect on the liver.

too many to list -- would consult you to a website\non the internet such as the ADA (american diabetes association) and it would list you all the effects.\nbig ones are kidney and heart.

Diabetes is a medical disorder characterized by varying or persistent hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar levels), especially after eating. All types of diabetes share similar symptoms and complications at advanced stages. Hyperglycemia itself can lead to dehydration and ketoacidosis. Longer-term complications include cardiovascular disease (doubled risk), chronic renal failure (it is the main cause for dialysis), retinal damage which can lead to blindness, nerve damage which can lead to erectile dysfunction (impotence), gangrene with risk of amputation of toes, feet, and even legs. The more serious complications are more common in people who have a difficult time controlling their blood sugars with medications (glycemic control).

I'm sure you already know that Hemoglobin A1c is a used as measure to see how well a person is keeping his or her diabetes under control.  However, if there has been a recent change in diet or treatment, the A1c may not be an accurate measurement of diabetic control.\n\n"Glycated hemoglobin measurement is not appropriate where there has been a recent change in diet or treatment within 6 weeks. Likewise the test assumes a normal red blood cell aging process and mix of hemoglobin subtypes (predominantly HbA in normal adults). Hence people with recent blood loss or hemolytic anemia, or hemoglobinopathy such as sickle cell disease are not suitable for this test. The alternative fructosamine test may be used in these circumstances and it similarly reflects an average of blood glucose levels over the preceding 2 to 3 weeks."

Most likely, yes! The high level of glucose draws water into the urine dehydrating you (thirst). It also affects the brain (tired). \n\nGood news - As your sugars remain in the normal range, you will feel better.\nBad news - Can be difficult at times.\n\nNote: If you check your sugars, and they are usually normal, and your HbA1c is good (3 month avg of sugars), and you feel tired and thirsty again, it is still possible to have other conditions. Bottom line, if you don't think it's the Diabetes causing something in particular, tell your doc.

there is no affect\n\n\nAs a tech I ask because Patients who are diabetic may take a medication that I would inform the patient to STOP taking for 48 hours due to the conjuction of IV contrast I administer, not the oral (barium).\n\nBarium will not increase, decrease, or alter blood sugar

Correction- insulin does not remove glucose from the urine. It removes it from the bloodstream, and redirects it to glycogen, to be stored in the tissues.  It can also be stored as fat. IF her blood sugar is too high, she is eating the wrong things. She needs to watch her diet, and have a low carb profile. IF she eats low-carb, then her blood sugar will not spike like that, and the insulin will have nothing to act upon in a negative fashion.\n\nHer blood sugar is high to begin with because of a lack of natural insulin in her body, which then needs to be supplemented by injected insulin. The job of insulin is to remove excess glucose from the bloodstream. Excess sugar in the blood is like having a thick syrup circulating around. This is bad for the body, and causes the blood pressure to go up, which can cause strokes and heart attacks. When insulin acts in a normal body, it brings the sugar level back down to normal after a meal.\n\nShe does not need to eat more. This will really make her fat.  She needs to eat low carb more frequently.  This will keep her blood sugar more normal. \n\nThe higher the blood sugar, the  more insulin is needed, and the more the glucose will be stored as fat or glycogen.\n\nShe should never take insulin if her blood sugar level is normal or low, because insulin will still act in the same way, and drop her level to below normal. If it does go too low, she could go into a diabetic coma.\n\nIt all has to do with keeping the sugar level in balance - both with diet and with the insulin. \n\nDoes that make sense yet?

Both are diagnosed based on high blood sugar readings and have the same symptoms- including thirst, hunger, weight lose, unusually high amount of urinating, and fatigue.  Both require careful blood glucose monitoring, and both have the same complications- neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney failure, heart disease- if not controlled.

Check with your doctor to do a blood glucose test. Often the finger prick tests aren't very reliable.

Okay, don't listen to the answer below mine.  Glucose is most definitely filtered; it is, however, normally 100% reabsorbed.  In uncontrolled diabetes, there is too much glucose, and not all of it can be reabsorbed (max reabsorption rate is about 375mg/min).  Anyway, I'm studying this right now for a class, so this is good review .... Yes, it is transported across the proximal tubule by 2ndary active transport from the tubular lumen into the proximal tubule cell.  It then diffuses out of the tubule cell into the plasma along its concentration gradient, by facilitated diffusion (no energy expenditure).

I am also diabetic, tightly controlled, and have been for 16 years. I find that the only meds that raise my bloodsugar are steroids (and they DRASTICALLY raise it), amphetamines (like in pseudophed and other decongestants), and antibiotics. I find that amphetamines and antibiotics only raise it a little, but that steroids push it 200 and 300 points upwards and I have to bolus often and raise my basal rate by a full unit each hour. Yeah, I'm a pump user and I love it!

A patient with that amount of kidney function loss would no doubt already be under the care of a nephrologist (kidney specialist) I think this question seems a little odd since I would have to wonder without medical specialty care how on earth  she A) knows she has only 1/3 of 1 kidney functioning and B) how does she know she has tumors. It is common for diabetics to be on dialysis and this person would undoubtedly be on dialysis again prescribed by a physician at some level. Are you sure you really have all the facts here?

Actually, I see diabetes first, then high blood pressure & cardiac complications...if we are connecting all three. DM over time takes it's toll on blood vessels affecting circulation, leading to BP problems and/or cardiac problems....and kidney problems....which enhances high BP problems...and so goes the circle when each affects each.\n\nNow, without diabetes in the picture, high BP (not controlled) can cause heart problems and kidney dysfunction.  \n\nThere may well be a higher incidence of DM with hypertension....I would guess if this were true then the pancreas was affected by the hypertention as the heart and kidneys are affected.
