Sir,
My mother is 64 years old and she is a diabetic and also sufering from breathing problems for the past 2 years.She takes insuln injection 2 times and omnacortil 10(twice a day) and also breathes with the help of a respirator.Recently she started to feel difficulty in breathing and restlessness and from yesterday i stopped giveing her Omnacortil(as i have heard about its side affects) and started using mucinac 600.It was okay.
Today early morning around 4 Am she called for help.She was sweatting.Her legs were swollen(though her legs were found to be a bit swollen for the past 2 months and everyday i massage ger legs twice and things were okay).The swelling was not a mild one but seem to be serious.I checked her blood sugar level and it was 58.I got confused.She is a diabetic.How could her blood sugar level drop to such a low level?Today afternoon again she struggled to breath and was sweatting.I checked her blood sugar level.Again it was very low-- 60
I gave her banana and some biscuits and that made her better to some extent.But her legs remain swollen.Please suggest what to do?what exactly might be her problem?Though i am going to consult a doctor regarding this i am very eager to know what could be causing this and what is happening to her.I'll be grateful if you provide me with answers and suggestions.
Insulin used:Lupisulin M 30 (Isophane)
