A 50-year-old woman with diabetes may still produce insulin, depending on the type and progression of her diabetes.
-
Type 1 Diabetes: a. Typically involves little to no insulin production due to immune system attacks on insulin-producing cells.
-
Type 2 Diabetes: a. Often involves insulin resistance. b. The pancreas may still produce insulin, sometimes in higher amounts initially. c. Over time, insulin production can decrease.
Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are crucial to assess insulin production and guide treatment. If there are concerns about insulin levels or diabetes management, discussing them with a doctor is recommended.

View allI was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in March 2021 and was initially prescribed RemoV tablets twice a day, which have remogliflozin etabonate 100mg and vildagliptin 50mg. My recent hba1c is 6.8 and fasting sugar is 139. During my sinus surgery, the doctor advised me to stop RemoV and switch to Glyciphage 500mg (metformin only). Now, my current doctor is suggesting RemoMV, which combines remogliflozin, vildagliptin, and metformin. I'm confused about which one is better for me and why RemoMV is being recommended over the other options. Can you explain the difference and what would work best for my condition?

I'm dealing with something called polycystic and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some advice on what exercises or foods might help with this condition? I'm really looking for some guidance here.
Consult a doctor or urologist for proper guidance. They may recommend: 1. Topical creams or ointments to loosen the foreskin. 2. Gradual stretching exercises. 3. Preputioplasty (a minor surgical procedure). 4. Circumcision (as a last resort). Avoid forcing the foreskin back, as it can cause further injury and scarring.
