Question

I'm really worried about my situation. It seems like my left fallopian tube is blocked while the right one is open. I went through 18 months of AKT for the blockage issue, and then we tried IUI at Fortis Hospital in Mohali for three cycles. During the second cycle, I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy that lasted two months, but after that, the IUI just hasn't worked for us. Could you guide me on what should be the next step in treatment, besides IVF?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on Human Mixtard insulin with 20 units in the morning and 15 at night, but she's been having these really scary hypoglycemic episodes. Recently, her kidney issues were also pointed out by a distant doctor. At a nearby hospital, they suggested switching her to Ryzodeg and changing her dose to 10 units. But ever since that change, her blood sugar has skyrocketed to 480 at night before insulin and dinner, and her fasting level is at 280. I'm really anxious about these high levels. What can I do to help get her sugar levels under control? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

I'm a 45-year-old guy with a pretty sedentary lifestyle since I have a desk job, and I'm dealing with hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 14, T3 is 0.8, and T4 is 5.9. I've been taking Thyronorm 25mg but not very consistently. I dont have a lot of physical symptoms, but I do feel lethargic and just can't seem to get motivated to exercise. Should I think about switching brands or adjusting the dosage? Also, is there a particular time of day that's better for taking this medication? And how often should I be getting my TSH levels checked?
