The management of diabetes entails the use of both medicine and a modified lifestyle coupled with regular checks. Pioglitazone is a pill that is usually utilized for maintaining blood sugar levels of diabetes type 2 patients. Nevertheless, the adequate dose for you will be determined by an endocrinologist or diabetes expert.

I accidentally took 2.5 instead of .25 semiglutide. What should I do.
Female | 51
The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!

Hii i lost 10 kg weight in an year without any exercise or diet with hairfall and I am 21 yr old female I had painful periods with vomiting previously and I took emergency contraceptive pill 4 times in an year
Female | 21
You lost 10 kg in a year, without trying. Also, you had hair falling out, and vomiting during periods. Taking emergency contraceptive pills frequently may impact your body. These symptoms indicate possible hormone imbalances or lack of nutrients. You should see a gynecologist. They will assess these issues properly.

I have period 14 day but whyy? This is normal?
Female | 17
Among the most general triggers for continuous bleeding are hormonal changes, tension, or else certain body conditions. Signs of the disease might be weakness or discomfort. Remember to observe the rise of any other signs like heavy bleeding or severe pain. In that case, or if it keeps for a long time, I would consult with the doctor first of all. They will provide various ideas and will decide whether further observation is necessary.

Suddenly I found my sugar level is 33 I feel very bad.. What should I do now. Its urgent
Male | 32
A sugar level of 33 is dangerously low. Symptoms like shakiness, dizziness, sweatiness, and confusion occur. This happens when insulin dosages are high or food intake is insufficient. The immediate fix is consuming sugary items like juice, soda, or candy. These quickly raise blood sugar levels. After that, eat protein-rich snacks to stabilize it. Discussing this episode with your doctor is crucial.

Mera b12 2000 ho reha hai sir isko kam kese kre
Male | 28
The B12 level of 2000 is too high. Possible side effects of high B12 include dizziness, nausea, and skin rashes. It may be due to over-supplementation or certain health conditions. To lower it, avoid B12 supplements and foods that are rich in B12. Water is an excellent conductor of waste and thus helps you eliminate excess B12 from your body. Get re-evaluated after a few weeks to check if it's normal again.

Hi I'm Gopinath. I'm diagnosed with low vitamin d (14 ng/ml). I feel really exhausted and leg below knee hurt so much. I'm currently taking D rise 2k, Evion LC and Methylcobalamin 500 mcg. How long it will take to cure and I feel normal
Male | 24
Having low vitamin D can make you feel very tired. It can also cause pain in your legs. The medicines you are taking are good. But it takes time to feel better. It usually takes a few weeks or months for your vitamin D levels to go up. And it takes time to feel normal again. Keep taking your medicines every day.

Before I share my worries I have to always note that I am a childhood cancer survivor Osteosarcoma I am now 19 and I was diagnosed at 11, I have been free from cancer since 13 years old I have worries of having cushin disease, I show all the symptoms and researched on YouTube by various videos of different doctors speaking of the subject. I gained a lot of weight in such a rapid speed even though I was very skinny, no matter how heathy I eat eating enough protein, cutting gluten and diary out as well as sugar I feel like i keep gaining weight. I have a fat pad at the back of my neck and the fat seems to go to my back and stomach, have awful bruising on my feet sometimes, horrible exhaustion by just lifting my arms and my bones sound like they crack a lot. Alongside many other symptoms like insulin resistance a doctor noticed due to darkening to my neck, but diabetes was ruled out when I went to a doctor and she said she did see many signs of a hormonal issue just by looking at me, referred me to a endocrinologist. I suspected high cortisol because i have dealt with a history of psychological issues such as diagnosed depression. I am suffering and will see this specialist soon, but my general blood lab tests have been “normal” before, I have read out of fear of not being heard by my doctor that lab tests sometimes do not show abnormal cortisol levels if the cortisol is not or condition of it is not too advanced I want to know all the tests that I need done that are necessary to be diagnosed, and what alternatives can I discuss with my doctors if the labs come out “normal” I am aware i need to advocate for myself sometimes I just dont know how to word it because of fear of seeming ignorant and like i know more than my doctor, I dont think this I just want my pain to be over! I think hearing advice from a professional would be best on how i can best approach advocation for my health.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

It sounds like you’re experiencing several challenging symptoms that may be related to hyperthyroidism, which can cause mood changes, heat intolerance, and discomfort in the feet.

Also referred to as diabetes, sugar disease occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin. The main cause is when the sugars in your body are not used adequately. If one has experienced this, coordinating regular exercises and consuming healthy choices would probably be a wise move.

Not gaining weight. My age is 19 nd weight is 28 .
Female | 19
People your age should gain weight bit by bit. Perhaps you are not eating enough or have thyroid issues among other things which commonly lead to a lack of weight gain. Have balanced diet meals that are inclusive of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. To rule out any health complications, go for regular checkups with a physician.

Hi .dr Please tell me that asghand testosterone increase krta women ka bhi? Mera testosterone already zyda but mery herbalist nay herbs ma asghand bhi include ki .mujy sumj nai a rhi kya yeh shi ha?
Female | 23
Asghand, also known as ashwagandha, can affect hormone levels, including testosterone. In women with higher testosterone, it might be beneficial but can also lead to unwanted symptoms such as increased hair growth or mood changes. It's essential to monitor your body's response when introducing new herbs. I recommend discussing this with a healthcare provider to tailor your approach, ensuring it's safe and suitable for your health needs. A professional can offer personalized advice based on your specific situation, ensuring you achieve your wellness goals effectively.

I am 59 years old female and I have HYPOTHYROIDISM. Last week I got my lab tests done and the reports show my thyroid level as : HYPOTHYROIDISM CODE: E03.9 TYPE: ICD 10 STATUS: Active T4- THYROXINE LOINC CODE: 3026-2 RESULT - 6.1 UG/dL TSH RESULT: 19.100 ulU/mL LOINC CODE : 11580 - 8 So, my question is, WHAT STRENGTH or HOW MANY MICROGRAMS OF LEVITHYROXINE MEDICATION SHOULD I TAKE?
Female | 59 years
With your TSH level at 19.1, it indicates that your thyroid is underactive. The appropriate dosage of levothyroxine varies per individual based on factors like weight and response to treatment. Typically, starting doses range from 25 to 125 micrograms daily, but adjustments may be necessary. It's crucial to consult your endocrinologist or endocrinologist to determine the right strength for you, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation.

Stopping teriparatide suddenly may impact bone strength. Though you won't feel effects immediately, over time, reduced density weakens bones and fracture risk rises. Don't miss doses; following doctor's orders is key to reinforce bone health and avoid issues.

My father is experiencing pain in his entire body's bones, and it's not decreasing even with medication. He has also developed diabetes, and there is a deficiency of vitamin D as indicated by the test results. He needs to follow up with the doctor for regular check-ups and adhere to the prescribed treatment to improve his health.
Male | 65
The bone pain, diabetes, and low vitamin D levels are concerning. Those symptoms could be from osteomalacia. This is when bones become weaker due to vitamin D deficiency. It causes pain and increased fracture risk. Your dad's doctor will guide the right treatment. This may involve supplements and medications. Regular check-ups are important to monitor progress and improve his health over time.

It’s good that you’re paying attention to the changes in your body. Sudden weight loss can sometimes be linked to conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues, or other underlying health problems. Visit an endocrinologist to check for diabetes and thyroid problems. The doctor may suggest tests like blood sugar levels and thyroid function tests to identify the issue.
