Dear lybrate-user,
you can try desmopressin nasal spray instead of minirin tablets if the tablets are making you uneasy and sleepy. The nasal spray works as well as the tablets

Asked for male, 56 years old from Noida

Urgent. Pls pls pls advice. My father had trauma. He got hospitalized and recover fully buy he is having excessive thirst from that day. It's is I guess central diabetes mellitus after head trauma. He is taking minirin and silodal but having excessive thirst. Please advice. He had. History of pituitary macroadonema tumour and taking hormonal treatment from last 10 years.

Dr. Sudipta Dutta Diabetologist

Diabetologist•Kolkata

First of all, there is nothing like central diabetes mellitus.
Sometimes, excess gh or acth release from pituitary from the tumor may cause hyperglycemia called as secondary diabetes.
Low secretion of adh may cause excessive urination known as diabetes insipidus lead to excessive thirst. But sugar remains normal in the blood. So please be more specific about his illness and give a proper history of what hormones he is taking regularly.

An hba1c of 6.8 indicates a risk for diabetes. Homeopathic remedies like gymnema sylvestre can help manage sugar levels, but lifestyle changes and diet are paramount. Monitoring and regular medical check-ups are essential.

These symptoms could be related to diabetic complications. It's important to control your blood sugar levels strictly. Homeopathic remedies like syzygium jambolanum may help in managing diabetes, but please consult me immediately for the swelling and back pain, as they might indicate kidney or cardiovascular issues.
