Muscle pain and kidney failure?

Muscle pain and kidney failure?

Hi everyone,

I have been having horrible daily headaches, nausea, and extreme muscle pain for about 3 months. In preparation for a CT scan with contrast, I had to have a Creatinine blood test done. I was informed that I could not get the contrast IV because my Creatinine was high at 1.5mg (Normal for female is 1.0mg). My fasting blood glucose was also 169 (normal is 70-99). I had these tests done a few months ago and both were normal. Do you think diabetes is causing this? I have not been officially diagnosed. I also get sweats, hypoglycemic episodes, nausea, muscle cramps, etc. I am a 28 year old female with low blood pressue and am 5'6'' 127lbs. What could be causing this? Please help. I am also contstantly tired. I slept from 4pm yesterday to 6am this morning and am still drowsy.

Thanks

Rhonda

Your fasting glucose says you're Type 2 Diabetic, hyperglycemia. Don't confuse your kidney symptoms with diabetes even though they can mimic hypoglycemia. The three key components in diabetes care are nutrition, fitness, and normal weight. Go here for a world of information

Please call you doctor asap and ask for a diabetes home test kit, instructions, and oral medication to help bring down your glucose levels. And, yes, diabetes can affect the kidney's. Drink lots of water to help your kidney's.

Post back if you have more questions.
Good luck.
