What might be happening
Based on the information you provided, there are several conditions that could be causing your symptoms:
-
Diabetes: High glucose levels, fatigue, and numbness in the hands could be signs of uncontrolled diabetes. Diabetes can also cause blurry vision and muscle spasms.
- Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, and medication to control blood sugar levels.
-
Hypertension: This could explain the headaches, blurry vision, and possibly the swelling in your hands, feet, and legs.
- Treatment usually involves lifestyle changes and medication to lower blood pressure.
-
Kidney Disease: Swelling in the hands, feet, and legs, along with fatigue, can be symptoms of kidney disease. High glucose levels and hypertension are both risk factors for kidney disease.
- Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the disease, but can include medication, dialysis, or a kidney transplant.
-
Autoimmune diseases: Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can cause swelling, muscle spasms, and numbness.
- Treatment typically involves medication to suppress the immune system and manage symptoms.
