A friend of mine is type 1 diabetic. WOke up with blurred vision, then had partial facial numbness around the right side of head, eye area and mouth. Went to ER, had bloodwork done which showed dehydration, high potassium levels, ct scan was negative for tumors, he has been working out twice per day -hard. Is there a virus perhaps or anything that comes to mind? Which doctor should he see now-an endocrinologist or a neurologist for follow up? Just trying to help him out.
Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorI am Chat Doctor answering your query. I can understand your concern. You seem to be having vitamin deficiency. Being a diabetic you need multivitamin and vitamin B12 supplements, specially. Eye and nerve involvement in uncontrolled diabetics is common. You must see a neurologist for the same. Hope this helps. Good luck.
