Hi Jules, I just stumbled upon your story and it brought back the memories of the first days of my husband\'s difficulties. He also has the auto-immune hep stuff. So far, no fungus. He has delt with the diabetis problems however. Now the prednisone alone isn\'t doing the job, so his doctor added mercapropurine to his fruit-salad of pills.

When I asked the nursing home RN, she
said she had no real indication of a diagnosis except something the
house doctor had written at my dad\'s request, which was essentially
illegible even to the nurse. OTOH, my mom was in and out of the
hospital a lot, either for diabetis problems (low bld sugar), chest
pains (non heart related it turned out, tho she does have ht disease),
or in one case a fall.

Explanation:
I would need more context, but I can assure you, from direct experience, that diabetes has a host of associated conditions: from macular degeneration resulting in severe vision impairment to infections of the extremities resulting in amputation.

V.s.


Explanation:
With reference to the UK only:

Diabetes problems is OK but it is a colloquial expression which is used by doctors when they talk to the patients.

When it comes to patients, British doctors have a terrible patronizing attitude. They use expressions such as
1- "Have you got tommy problems?" (= Do suffer from abdominal pain?)

2- "How is your plumbing? (Meaning: do you have urinary tract problems?)

They also resent the patient who makes correct use of medical terminology.
-------------------------------------
If the expression appears in a paper written for an international symposium
I, personally, would use a more formal expression such as :
"diabetes-related disorders" or
"diabetes-related conditions",
or: "diabetes-related complications, etc... etc..


Good luck,

Giuseppe (Melecci)
