  1. Type 2 Diabetes Management:

    • Type 2 diabetes is typically a chronic condition but can be managed effectively.
    • Significant lifestyle changes can lead to remission, where blood sugar levels normalize without medication.
  2. Key Considerations:

    • Remission vs. Cure: Remission means controlled blood sugar without medication, not a cure.
    • Lifestyle Changes: Focus on weight loss, a balanced diet, and regular exercise.
    • Medical Support: Regular check-ups and personalized treatment plans are essential.
  3. Long-term Commitment:

    • Maintaining remission requires ongoing healthy habits and possibly medication.

For more detailed guidance on managing type 2 diabetes, consult your healthcare provider.

I'm a bit worried about my grandma who's 84. She's been taking Cordarone 200mg since June for her heart issues. But recently, during a health checkup, they found her thyroid levels to be really high, like 30.91H. They've put her on medication for that too. Is it safe for her to keep taking Cordarone with this thyroid issue?

yes u can continue taking the tab for your cough..

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?

Considering your history of unilateral fallopian tube blockage, 18 months of Akt treatment, and three unsuccessful IUI cycles after an ectopic pregnancy, the next steps to consider before IVF could be: Laparoscopic tubal cannulation or tuboplasty to clear the blockage in the left fallopian tube; Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation to assess and potentially clear the blockage; or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with ovarian stimulation using Gonadotropins or Letrozole to enhance egg production; consult a fertility specialist to discuss these options
