View allI've been feeling dizzy all the time and really weak for the past 15-20 days. I'm diabetic, and my PP is usually around 100, but my fasting varies between 200-250. Im on Piosys 30 mg once daily at breakfast around 8 a.m., Eurepa 0.5 four times a day, Vobit twice a day, and Basalog at 10 units around 10 p.m. I also take CTD for blood pressure. I tried Stugeron for 20 days, but it didnt help. Can you suggest something for the dizziness and weakness? Its becoming a big issue.
Your sugar levels are very high and may be your BP has increased.

I'm really worried because we're trying to have a baby and just found out my partner's TSH levels are at 10.34. She's not on any medication yet since we just diagnosed it now. Should we focus on getting the TSH levels under control before trying to conceive, or is it safe to plan for a baby right now? Any advice on what we can do in the meantime to help manage it?
Zincovit is a multivitamin supplement containing zinc, vitamins, and minerals. _Taking Two Zincovit Tablets Per Day_ 1. _Generally safe_: Taking two Zincovit tablets per day is generally considered safe, but it's essential to follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor. 2. _Zinc toxicity risk_: Excessive zinc consumption (>150 mgday) can lead to zinc toxicity. Zincovit typically contains 15-20 mg of zinc per tablet, so taking two tablets per day should not exceed the safe limit. 3. _Interactions with medications_: Zinc can interact with certain medications, such as antibiotics and blood thinners. Consult your doctor if you're taking any medications. _Best Time to Take Zincovit_ 1. _With meals_: Take Zincovit with meals to enhance absorption and minimize stomach upset. 2. _Morning or evening_: You can take Zincovit at any time of day, but taking it in the morning may help boost energy levels throughout the day.
