View allI'm a bit worried about how long my immune system might stay suppressed after taking steroids. I am prediabetic, and I'm on steroids for a condition, but I'm not taking any additional medication for sugar control. Right now, I'm on Metformin 500mg to help avoid any steroid-induced diabetes from my post-covid treatment. I took Methylprednisolone: 16mg for 5 days, 8mg for the next 5 days, and then 4mg for another 5 days. The last steroid dose was on May 5th, and I tested positive for covid on April 13th. It's been about 21 days since I tested negative for covid. How long can I expect my immune system to be affected?
The immune system suppression caused by steroids can last for several months after stopping the medication. In your case, having taken Methylprednisolone for 15 days, with the last dose on May 5th, your immune system may take around 6-12 months to fully recover. However, this timeframe can vary depending on individual factors, such as the dose and duration of steroid use, as well as your overall health.

I'm really worried because I've been taking methimez 20mg, as prescribed for my hyperthyroidism, but now I've been dealing with hypothyroidism for a year. Should I still be taking the same dose, or is there an adjustment needed? I'm feeling confused and concerned about whether I'm on the right track with my treatment.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and takes glycomet cr500. I'm trying to understand if she's type 1 or type 2 diabetic. Also, I've heard about ime 9can it completely cure diabetes, or does it only help keep it under control?
Glycomet CR-500 is a medication typically prescribed for Type 2 diabetes; Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed at a younger age and requires insulin therapy, whereas Type 2 diabetes is often managed through lifestyle changes and oral medications like metformin (Glycomet); while Type 2 diabetes can be managed and controlled, it's considered a chronic condition, and there is no known "complete cure," but with proper treatment, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring, blood sugar levels can be effectively controlled.
