can't eat but taking medicine eyes yellow

[mbk]

I'm new here but I've been a type 1 diabetic for 35 years. This past week I've had some sort of bug and couldn't eat and stayed in bed. This is very rare for me. I continued to take my meds but sugar levels stayed around 8 - weird as I thought I would go hypo. After 2 or 3 days I've started to eat very small amounts for dinner and breakfast - I have to be careful because I just throw up if I try to eat more. Doc suggested I reduce my meds a little and try to eat. After 5 days in bed I'm not any better and my eyes have started to go yellow. Any ideas?

Get the doctor out

I agree. Time to call the doc.

Mbk sorry to hear your so unwell, please get the doc to you asap, better safe than......

Yellow eyes could be your bilirubin suggesting your liver isn't doing it job, hepatitis etc so go to get help

Since it's Sunday, ring the NHS helpline (don't know the number, sorry)
And don't let them fob you off.
Make sure you see someone as soon as possible.

Hi @mkb. Just wondering how you got on? It does sound very much as if you are jaundiced. Hope you got the medical treatment you needed

 

[Clivethedrive]

Any improvements mk?

 

[mbk]

Sorry for slow response
In hospital with jaundice
Food's not bad but they don't let you sleep more than 2hrs before more tests.
Thank you for all your concern
Mike

Glad you got it sorted. You are in the right place, but hospital food isn't particularly healthy, so hope you get released very soon.

 

[Clivethedrive]

Hey mbk , glad you got to the hospital , hope your out and able to get back to the party in time for Xmas :) thanks for the update , thinking of you

 

[alliebee]

Sending lots of nursey best wishes...hope the diagnosis is forthcoming v soon. You may feel very tired for a while. It takes the liver a little while to recover from whatever is causing the jaundice..keep us posted and get well soon

 

[Nuthead]

Aahhhh!. Yes I know. Every time I felt like a bit of kip it was a ct scan or a blood test or let's poke this bit....blah blah.....Trouble is they keep you alive mate. Be good.

 

[Brunneria]

Good to hear from you!
Sending you good wishes.

There still not sure what's up they're now using the term acute hepatitis. The blood levels were a bit alarming the normal belirubin should be 20 and I was scoring 240. Impressive I know but there was an ALU (?) That was supposed to be 40 and I was getting 4700!!! No real cause found either. Oh well, fingers crossed
