I'm really worried about my HbA1c level, it's at 8.6 right now. I stopped taking my diabetes meds a while ago and now I'm not sure what I should do. Can you guide me on what medication or steps I should consider to manage this?

Question

I'm a 19-year-old female, and I'm currently 4 feet 8 inches tall. I've been wondering if there's still a chance for me to grow taller, especially since my parents aren't very tall either. I'm really hoping to reach around 5 feet 2 inches. Is it possible for me to increase my height at this age? I've tried drinking ashwagandha powder mixed with milk for 15 days, hoping it might help, but I haven't noticed any changes. What should I do and is there anything else that might work? I'm really curious and would appreciate any advice you can offer.
