His symptoms from day one have been dry mouth, problems focusing on things and blurry vision, sometimes will have chills and maybe a slight fever but never over 100.0, stomach pain right at the top of his stomach like right above his rib cage-feels like a knot but you can t see it. we are going to a specialist on tuesday of this next week but want to know something i can do to help him. Only thing is if he drinks alcohol it will relieve it and alot of burping happens....do you have any suggestions for me

Hello and Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

I will try to the best of my ability to help you with your concern.

The symptoms you mention are typical symptoms of a diabetic person. It seems to me that you are having diabetes type 1 , because diabetes type 2 shows less symptoms or shoe symptoms slowly . Pain abdoment is due to extreme hunger , there will be thirst and dryness of mouth along with blurred vision.

In diabetes type 1 body is unable to produce insulin due to which blood sugar level increases . Type 1 is also known as insulin dependent diabetes.

I would suggest you to consult physician for proper diagnosis and rule out causes like nerve impairment and acidic reflux diseases . Doctor may order fasting and random blood sugar level , glycolate hemoglobin test or test for ketone bodies in blood .

Doctor may prescribe insulin therapy ( number of unites will depend upon the severity of disease ) .

Till then eat healthy , do light exercise for half an hour daily and avoid alcohol and smoking.

I hope it helps.
Thanks
Dr Harry Maheshwari
