Garlic and Blood Sugar:
- Garlic may have a mild effect on lowering blood sugar, but evidence is not strong enough to rely on it alone for managing diabetes.
-
Recommendations: a. Consult Healthcare Provider: Essential if on diabetes medications to avoid interactions. b. 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:
- Garlic might help slightly lower blood sugar but should not be the primary treatment. Always discuss dietary changes with your doctor.

View allI'm concerned about my TSH level, which is 18.24. Is this considered dangerous? What does it say about the state of my thyroid? I've already done tests like T3, T4, and checked for anti-thyroid antibodies. Could you give me some advice on how to manage or control this?
A TSH level of 18.24 suggests hypothyroidism, which means your thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormones. It's good that you've undergone comprehensive tests, including T3, T4, and anti-thyroid antibodies, to assess the cause. Treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, and I recommend consulting your healthcare provider for a tailored treatment plan to bring your levels into balance.

I'm really struggling because I had my tubes tied 8 years ago, and now I can't afford IVF or anything like that. I'm just wondering if there are any over-the-counter hormone pills that could help me get pregnant. Any advice would be appreciated.
Tubal ligation is a reversible procedure. In order to increase chances of pregnancy, you should first have TLR procedure done. Following this, you can visit a specialist to get a prescription for fertility enhancement medication.

I'm 19 and 5'5 is there any way I can still grow taller even a little without surgery? I don't mind if it's tough or takes time, I just want to know if it's possible at my age
While significant height increase after 19 is unlikely due to growth plate closure, some strategies can help you appear taller and potentially gain a small amount of height. Focusing on posture, diet, and exercise can contribute to overall well-being and potentially maximize your height potential.
