Balanced Diet: Include garlic for flavor and potential benefits, but do not replace prescribed treatments. c. Monitor Blood Sugar: Regular checks are important to assess the impact of dietary changes.

Summary:

If we swallowed insulin the digestive enzymes in our stomach would break it down before reaching our bloodstream. Therefore, at this time, all insulin must be injected into our body.

I'm 25 and I've noticed that my beard and moustache aren't really growing much. I went to a homeopathic doctor and he said it might be hypogonadism. I've been taking the medicine he prescribed but haven't seen any big changes so far. Is there an allopathic treatment available for this?
Hypogonadism can indeed affect beard and moustache growth. In allopathic medicine, testosterone replacement therapy is often used to treat hypogonadism. You can consult a doctor to get a prescription for medications like Testim (testosterone gel) or Androderm (testosterone patch). The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by your healthcare provider based on your specific condition.
