How do I care for a wife with diabetes insipidus who has also suffered acute kidney failure?

Answer 1

well considering the two go hand in hand, talk to your nephrologist.

if she's been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, she has one already. WTF are you asking a question like that online anyway?

i don't think some people understand what diabetes insipidus is... it isn't a terminal illness folks... it's not the same thing as diabetes mellitus (which is what i think most of you are thinking of). It is NOT the blood sugar disease, it's a hormonal disease of the kidneys not allowing you to retain water correctly and causing you to thirst uncontrollably.

The dude should talk to his nephrologist about dealing with it, but with medication, it's a VERY manageable disease.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 4

If she has acute kidney failure I assume she is still in hospital?

Or do you mean she has chronic renal failure which is more usual in diabetic patients?
These are areas I know alot about so e mail me with more info or more specific questions and I will answer.

High blood pressure is the link between the two conditions and its control will benefit both, slowing down the progression of renal (kidney) failure and reduce the liklihood and severity of complications of diabetes.

Answer 5

I understand your concern and share with your frustration concerning your partner. I have a husband who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and then suffered a stroke recently. It is challenging to see what life presents. Not knowing your medical situation nor your career situation, I urge you to seek help from as many places as you can. Ask as many people as you encounter for services that you may need. Kidney transplant for you wife might be risky with her underlying diabetes. I would also attend support groups for care givers and seek out any place that provides adult day care. Your situation is challenging and I can appreciate your challenge. Your life suddenly becomes about your wife's illness and seems very unfair. My marriage is ending because my husband was consumed with his illness and never had any consideration of how his illness affected me. I would also engage any services that might be available to you through your church or whatever religious affiliation you might participate in. Make efforts to remember your wife when she was well - She isn't this person who is struggling with these illnesses. Make time for yourself in this process. Good luck and my prayers are with you and your family.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/jylFQ

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Sweetheart, you need to ask the nurse at your doctors surgery. She can give you all the info you need, and put you in touch with professionals for advice on the drugs used and their purpose, and the physical care of your wife. You may also be entitled to Carers Allowance and Attendance Allowance if you do not already get these- claim them- they are not a charity- you have paid towards them through your taxes.

Answer 8

My husband takes great care of me, sometimes he has to sit by and spoon feed me the sweet sugary stuff he makes up to get me out of an insulin reaction.
Just be patient with her, she will tell you when she needs help in her only way. I hate it when my husband has to help me, but then I love him for doing that for me.
I went blind 6 years ago & on dialysis a few months ago, I also had 3 heart attacks this year.
I encoruage him to go hiking or something he likes without me as the stress factor.
Good LUck & God Bless you.
