From the symptoms you mentioned, you probably experience a seizure of your blood sugar levels, known as hypoglycemia. You should seek help from an endocrinologist or a diabetes specialist and attend a detailed examination and proper treatment. Insulin can be a hazardous medication to self-select and therefore should only be taken upon a healthcare provider's advice.

Male | 13
I think you might have a cold that’s making you cough and giving you red eyes. Having a fever for a whole week is a cause for concern. Sometimes red eyes are a sign of a cold virus. You should rest, drink fluids, and take something for the fever. If you don’t get better or your eyes get worse, it’s a good idea to see a doctor.

Female | 34
You should never try to check the levels of your thyroid. It needs sophisticated skills and expensive equipment to measure thyroid hormone levels. Rather, I advise going to an endocrinologist who will do a blood test that measures the thyroid hormone in your system.

You're right to ask about HIV risks. Such viruses can't stay alive very long outside bodies. The odds of getting HIV via tiny haircut cuts are super slim. Still, watch cuts closely to avoid infections. If you experience unexplained fever, aches, or rashes, see a doctor.
