Am I at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes?
I am a 38 year old man. In december 2023 I made a blood test and my HBA1C was 7.5%. Two months later it dropped to 6.8%. After 6 months I made another blood test and it was 6.2%. My question is: is it type 2 diabetes? Just for information, last year October and November were very stressful for me. Thanks in advance

Based on the information you shared, it seems that your blood sugar levels have been improving, which is a great relief! Your HbA1c falling from 7.5% to 6.2% over time is a good sign. Stress can also be a contributing factor to blood sugar levels, and thus, it could be one of the considerations. Monitor your health, eat healthy, stay active, and have regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels.

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.

I have been experiencing joint pains, PCOS, vitamin deficiencies, and mental health issues for the past 4 years. joint pains are exacerbated by activities like walking and standing. I have self-tested for deficiencies and are afraid to visit a doctor joint pains and muscle pains are rated at a severity level of 9 out of 10. I have noticed neck darkness, pimples on your face, and excess underarm fat and darkening. I had plantar facilities and breast abscess and bartholin cyst in past history.
Female | 25
Many symptoms are bothering you. Inflammation in the body causing joint pain may be related to PCOS and vitamin deficiencies. Hormonal imbalances could be one reason why your neck has become darker along with the skin underarms. A good way to reduce these signs is to eat balanced meals regularly, exercise often, and manage stress properly. If necessary, you should also take care of yourself more than anything else by seeking help from a medical professional.

Female | 31
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.

Am diabetic since 15 years. BP normal as am taking medication. I take insulin Actrapid 100 u 14-3-10 and toujeo 28-0-0 along with Sitagliptin OD 100. fp sugar 140-160 ,PP 210-220. I feel dizziness in evening between 6 and 7. That time sugar level is 140-160. Is it because sugar variation. If eat something dizziness goes. Is it because of insulin
Male | 73
Your insulin lowers blood sugar, causing dizziness when levels drop in evening. Eating raises blood sugar, helping dizziness. Consume snacks before 6 pm to test if it improves. Persistent dizziness requires discussion with healthcare provider. Small adjustments may make big difference. Frequent monitoring helps regulate sugar fluctuations. Maintaining stable levels prevents dizzy spells. Seeking medical guidance ensures proper care.

Prolactin levels are high and I'm taking cabgolin but facing side effects
Female | 37
Increased prolactin amounts can happen sometimes, and taking cabgolin is right for that. This medicine can bring about side-effects like nausea, dizziness, headaches. Elevated prolactin might make periods irregular or milk production start. To minimize discomfort, consume cabgolin after meals. If problems persist, talk to your doctor.

Female | 19
Hormonal imbalances with hyperthyroidism can alter your cycle. This may lead to light, scanty menstruation. The good news is that when you return home, it becomes normal again but changes after some time. For you, adjusting medications could be useful in balancing hormones as well as enhancing flow during menses. Have a talk with your doctor about this.

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.
Male | 16
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.

Putting on weight can feel hard. Your body may burn food very fast. Or you may not eat enough. Health issues could also cause this. You may feel tired or weak. Or you may not want to eat much. To gain pounds, eat foods with lots of calories. Good choices are nuts, avocados, chicken, and fish. These foods give your energy. Exercise to build muscle too. If your weight stays low, see a doctor. They can check for any problems.

My mom suffering thyroid prblm and she went to hospital and now she take treatment for that they tell this is the starting stage no need worries. My question is is there any swelling at the neck
Female | 40
In thyroid disorders, swelling or enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as a goiter, can occur, but it is not always present. If your mother's doctor has advices that her thyroid problem is in the early stages and not a cause for worry, It is best to continue with the prescribed treatment and follow up for monitoring

Hi, I am premaltha 27 year old i have thyroid issue.. i need consultation on my recent test report. Result is t3 :133, t4 : 7.78 and tsh 11.3..
Female | 27
From your test results, your thyroid is not producing enough desired functional capabilities. This can bring about warning signs like fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold. A high TSH level indicates that thyroid hormone production needs to be regulated again. The doctor may advise you on the kind of medication to take that works best for you.

Male | 75
These might be symptoms of many things such as an infection or not drinking enough fluid. However, there are some things which could help in the meantime: make sure that you drink plenty of water, and get some rest. But if this goes on much longer without any improvement then I would advise seeking medical attention. They can give you proper treatment for whatever is causing all these different problems.

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 am having hypothyroidism. Can I visit Keva Ayurveda for best hypothyroidism treatment?
Female | 23
Your thyroid gland makes hormones that control how your body works. Hypothyroidism means the gland doesn't make enough of these hormones. You may feel tired all the time. Gaining weight unexpectedly can happen too. Feeling cold more often than normal is another symptom. One treatment option is Ayurveda. Keva Ayurveda uses herbs and lifestyle changes to help balance hormones and bodily functions. Their therapies might ease your hypothyroidism symptoms through methods like herbal remedies. But don't try anything new without talking to your regular doctor first.

my hair is on china area .And I get a lot of pimples on my face and my hair falls a lot. and fell fatigue and sometimes leg pain and sometimes night fall.So is it due to some hormone? I spoke to a doctor and he said without testing that it is due to progesterone hormone. And if the vision hormone becomes correct then will the other hormones also become correct? Girl unmarried
Female | 23
The symptoms like pimples, hair loss fatigue, leg pain, and nightfall could be a hormonal issue but it may not be correct to think only of progesterone in this case without tests. The body's hormones can be thought of as a team, where if one is out of balance, it might affect the others. To discover the most appropriate treatment, it is crucial to consult an endocrinologist for proper testing and hormone balance guidance for general well-being.

Am 24 years old female during pregnancy time I got thyroid decreased June 27th I delivered so now I take the blood test for thyroid so the result is 4.823 is this normal for me?
Female | 24
A thyroid level of 4.823 after pregnancy might be slightly aspiring. It might be because you can feel fatigued, become overweight, and experience mood swings. Thyroid levels tend to shift after having a baby. Your body might need a little nudge in the right direction. Your doctor may recommend drugs to normalize your levels and improve your well-being.

Male | 23
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.

I think I have thyroid or PCOS i feel too much nervous, I have anxiety, I'm depressed, I loose so much hair also , feel so much fatigue, even after 8 or more hours of sleep I feel tired, I am always overwhelmed and cry at small things
Female | 18
It seems you may have symptoms of thyroid problems or PCOS. Both can make you feel stressed, sad, lose hair, tired, and overwhelmed. Thyroid issues happen when the thyroid does not work right and impacts hormones. PCOS affects female hormones and may cause similar signs. You should see a doctor to get tests done and proper care. They can help figure out what is causing these feelings.
