My husband has had several health problems and the Dr.s can't figure out what it is. He recently found out that his blood sugar has been fluxuating. All of his lymph nodes are swollen, he feels like he has the flu all the time(body aches, chills, hot flashes). He has been depressed. He has no energy. He has mood swings. He has headaches alot. These things have lead him to Dr, to Dr. To Dr. They have done test after test, including surgery to biopsy a lymph node. No Cancer of any kind. They can't find anything. Can all of this be problems from the onset of diabetes and could it take YEARS before the diabetes actually show up? Is there something we should be looking for?

We have been told that his problem could be an auto immune disorder but they don't know which it is.

His kidneys were checked, I think. He had started having trouble because he was constantly going to the bathroom to pee and he was always thirsty.

He also had trouble with his fingers drawing up from time to time but that was years ago. It hasn't happened in years.

Just found out that his mother took some medicine for diabetes. She died at the age of 47 of a stroke or something along that line.

frequent urging for urine ,increased thirst,weakness,increased appetite (hunger),frequent urinary infection .these are the symptoms of diabetes.But lymphnode enlargement(Are you sure his whole lymphnodes are enlarged?) ,fever and all other symptoms you said points towards some other conditions .

He may have a problem with his adrenal glands such as Cushing's syndrome or pancreatitis. As for diabetes, problems can be associated with Diabetes are heart disease, Kidney disease leading Kidney failure(most commom complicaton), blindness, cataracts, leg infections which can lead to leg amputation, all of the problems are caused by poor cirulation secondary to diabetes. the best way to control complications is to control blood sugar.

Well my sister is Hyperglycemic, and I'm Hypoglycemic.. And I read in my Medical Encyclopedia that if I dont stick to my pyramid diet carefully.... that what I have can lead to a coma, a siezure, and or even death.... We come from a long line of diabetics...My uncle who used to drink, even after he was diagnosed, with Diabetese ended-up having to get his leg amputated... And my father ended up having a "Massive Stroke" before his 70th birthday, because of his diabetese.. I have cousin's who have it, and everyone of my Dad's syblings all have it.... I dont know much else about it except diet eating what they tell us to eat is so important!!

It is consistent with an auto immune disorder so have him see an endocrinologist and/or a rheumatologist to find out what is going on.
