Can someone let me know where I can get B12 injections in Bengaluru? I've been struggling with my weight and my metabolism is pretty slow. I read online that these injections might help with burning carbs and fats. Id love any advice or information on this.

I'm really concerned because over the last six months, I've noticed my face and neck skin turning dark. I used to have a lighter complexion, but now this change has really affected the areas around my neck, jaws, and chin. On top of that, the skin on my cheeks is also starting to darken. I'm also managing diabetes, so I'm wondering if there could be a connection. What might be causing this, and is there a way to reverse it?

That could be acanthosis ,correct your BMI and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm a bit confused about my thyroid medication. I've had thyroid issues for the past 3.5 years, which started during pregnancy. I'm on 25 mcg of medication. I recently got my thyroid levels checked, and my results are T3 108, T4 7.96, and TSH 1.31. Should I keep taking the 25 mcg or think about stopping it? I'm just not sure what to do next.

Based on these results, it seems like your thyroid levels are well controlled. I would recommend continuing with the same dosage of 25 mcg of Levothyroxine to maintain your thyroid levels within the normal range. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring and adjustments if needed.
