I'm trying to wrap my head around my recent test results. I've been managing diabetes since 2008, but I'm worried because my latest fasting level is 188. I've also got very high VLDL, triglycerides through the roof, and low Vitamin D3. On top of that, my cholesterol is high too. It feels like everything's piling up, and I'm a bit overwhelmed. What could all this mean for my overall health, and what steps should I be taking to get these numbers down?

I just got my blood test results back, and I'm a little concerned about a few things. My vitamin D level is 12.21 ngml, vitamin B12 is at 176 pgml, and uric acid is 7.6 mgdL. On top of that, my TSH is 9.06. Should I be worried about these levels? What do they indicate, and do I need to make any changes to my diet or lifestyle? Would appreciate any advice you can give!

I've had gynecomastia on my right side below the nipple for the last 13 years, diagnosed by an oncologist and radiologist. It's painful when touched. Are there any Ayurvedic treatments to reduce it without surgery?

Chronic painful gynecomastia rarely responds to Ayurvedic treatments; surgery offers best relief, but hormone evaluation and weight management are helpful first steps.
