A 50-year-old woman with diabetes can generally eat apples, but portion control and monitoring blood sugar levels are important. Apples contain natural sugars and fiber, which can be beneficial if consumed in moderation. It's best to choose whole apples rather than apple juice or processed apple products, as whole fruits have more fiber and a lower glycemic impact.

Key points to consider:

  1. Portion size: Eating one small to medium apple per day is usually safe.
  2. Blood sugar monitoring: Keep track of how apples affect your blood glucose.
  3. Balanced diet: Include apples as part of a varied diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
  4. Consult your doctor or dietitian: Personalized advice is important, especially if you have other health conditions or take medications.

In summary, apples can be a healthy snack choice for someone with diabetes when eaten mindfully and as part of an overall balanced diet.

I've been feeling really thirsty for about a year now, and I'm starting to worry a bit. My dad had diabetes, so I got tested to see if that was the issue, but the blood sugar came back normal. The tests did show that my Vitamin D3 levels are on the low side and my alkaline phosphatase levels are higher than they should be. I'm a 53-year-old guy, and I'm curious about what might be causing these higher alkaline phosphatase levels in my blood. Would you have any ideas?

go with liver function tests ,and if you are alcoholic stop consuming alcohol

I recently received my TSH test results, and they came back as 13.4 uIUml. I'm a bit concerned about this. Could you tell me how much thyronorm I should be taking daily? Right now, I'm on 75mg.

I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. So yesterday, right after I left work, I started sweating a lot, and then I got super hungry and felt really weak. I bought some peanuts to eat, but swallowing them was tough, you know? I just felt so tired. I managed to drive about a kilometer, but then I wasn't feeling right, so I stopped at a shop and had some mosambi juice. I'm around 68 kg in weight and 54 in height, and I've been swimming like three to four days a week for the last couple of months. My office is about 45 km from home, and I usually drive there. My work hours are from around 10:30 in the morning until about 9 at night. I'm just trying to understand what's going on with me. Any idea what the issue might be?

Your symptoms of sudden sweating, hunger, weakness, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue, especially after a long day at work and a 45km drive, could be indicative of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dehydration, or exhaustion, possibly exacerbated by your intense swimming routine and long working hours, so consider consulting a md medicine to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss strategies for managing your energy levels and overall well-being.
