How does Type II diabetes cause weight gain?

Diabetics have raised blood sugar and when there is a lot of excess blood sugar in our blood stream, it signals our body to put that excess sugar in storage. We can store some sugar in our liver and muscles, however, when these are full our body start to store the extra sugar as fat. This of course starts to cause weight gain.

I'm in my second trimester, and my thyroid was detected back in the first trimester. I've been taking medication, but now my thyroid level is 11.7, and I'm really worried about it. I had a second-level ultrasound, and thankfully everything seemed normal, and the baby is doing well. Can you guide me on this and maybe suggest some diet changes that might help with my thyroid condition?

.Well your tsh levels are still high and you definitely need to take treatment for your hypothyroidism..I would suggest you to meet a gynecologist and start the recommended treatment as you are pregnant..You don't have to worry as with the correction you can continue the pregnancy also..

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I think I have a hormonal imbalance causing gynocomastia. I've had it for years now and I'm really worried about it. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? Who should I see for this issue? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible.

Gynaecomastia can be treated with medications or surgery—see endocrinologist or plastic surgeon.
