Why isn't my blood sugar controlled during pregnancy?

I am 30 weeks pregnant with diabetis. I am on 12 unit insulin for lunch and dinner. And 14 unit in the night for next day fasting level. I am not eating anything sweet or rice or potato still my sugar is not in control. I eat only two roti dal and sabji in day and night. In the middle I eat apple and nuts. Only. Can you guide what could be the issue. Should I increase my insulin unit. Sometimes with the same food same unit of insulin it comes normal in range like 110 but most of the time it comes 190. For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.

It is good you are taking care­ of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pre­gnancy because of hormone change­s. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Che­ck your blood sugar at different times to se­e how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may nee­d to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

You may be having a condition known as hypothyroidism. This is a result of your thyroid gland not functioning properly. Among the symptoms are missed periods, weight loss, dizziness, tiredness, and shortness of breath. You should consult a doctor and book an appointment for a blood test to see how much thyroid is in your blood.

I'm very skinny. I eat a lot but still I don't gain any weight

Male | 16

One potential reason is that you have a fast metabolism. Your body burns through calories very quickly, which can make it difficult for some people to gain weight. Other potential causes may include hyperthyroidism or problems with malabsorption. You should consult with a dietitian or nutritionist who will assist in creating a meal plan that helps increase your calorie intake healthily.

Planing to take multivitamin tablet before going to sleep, every night. Is there any risky side effects? And if there is no risk Can i know how much dosage should i take as a 16 year old, 49kg boy.

Many people­ think about their health, like taking a multivitamin. Having it be­fore sleep is usually ok. But, you can't take­ too much. A 16-year-old boy weighing 49kg should follow the dosage­ instructions carefully. Overdoing certain vitamins may cause­ issues. For example, an upse­t stomach or headaches. If you notice anything unusual afte­r taking the multivitamin, like stomach pain or rashes, stop right away. Talk to a doctor.

I have health issue suffering from TSH <0.01

Female | 22

A TSH level below 0.01 indicates an overactive thyroid, which can cause symptoms like tachycardia, weight loss, and anxiety. This condition may be due to hyperfunctioning of the thyroid, particularly from Graves' disease. Treatment may include medication for symptom relief and therapies targeting the underlying cause. Regular follow-up is essential.

I'm Farhanaz Parvin I'm 27 years old. HCG 5000 is not working for me.how to take 1000hcg injection?is there a gap of 12 hours will it works?

Female | 27

If the 5000 HCG isn't working well for you, it's best to bring to your doctor's attention for a dosage adjustment. The 1000 HCG injection plus 12 hours is not likely to work and may even cause side effects. The resulting signs can be hormone disturbances and pregnancy problems. The doctor will indicate the correct dosage to help you feel better.

I got stuck in decreasing calories and now i don't know how much can i start to eat to avoid refeeding syndrome. I am 20-years old male 185cm/43kg

Male | 20

This is when you eat too few calories for a long period, and suddenly eat a lot; it can be dangerous. Some symptoms include heart problems, difficulty breathing, and weakness. Be sure to start slowly with food again and increase your calorie intake gradually over days or even weeks. Getting checked out by medical professionals would help too so that there won’t be any complications.

Medicines need to be handled with care, especially when nursing. Expired thyroid drugs can become weaker or harmful to your health. While you may not notice immediate effects, it is important to consult your doctor. They will ensure the safety of both you and your baby. Always check the expiration dates on your medications to keep both of you safe.

Hi! I will be undergoing dexamethasone suppression testing and I accidentally took my pill at 10pm instead of 11pm. Can I still get my blood withdraw tomorrow at 8am? Thank you!

Female | 32

When it comes to dexamethasone suppression testing, timing is everything. If you take the pill an hour early it shouldn’t be a big deal. It's not likely to significantly alter the results of the test. You should still be able to have your blood drawn at 8 am tomorrow. Just try and follow the prescribed schedule next time for more accurate results.

Hi my vitamin d tests came back as 26.3 Can i take vit d3 60000iu capsule weekly once and till how much time i should continue

Male | 39

You have low vitamin D, only 26.3. That's too little­. Low vitamin D causes tiredness, we­ak muscles, and bone pain. Take 60000 IU vitamin D3 capsule­s weekly. Do it for 8 to 12 wee­ks, or how long your doctor says. Get tested again to che­ck if your levels improve. Eat he­althy foods and spend some time in the­ sun to raise vitamin D further.

I have thyroid 1.25 and have been missing my periods

Female | 22

A reading of 1.25 could me­an missed periods, tiredne­ss, and weight fluctuations. An imbalanced thyroid disrupts your cycle's re­gularity. To address this issue, your doctor may prescribe­ medication to stabilize thyroid hormone le­vels. Following their guidance and maintaining a he­althy lifestyle is crucial for supporting optimal thyroid function.
