There's no particular timeline that stands true for all patients, it depends on many factors such as age of diabetes onset, control of blood sugars, lifestyle and regular check ups.

I'm really worried about something, and I hope you can help. I've noticed that my chest is developing in a way that looks like a female breast, and it's getting me quite stressed. I'm really hoping to find a solution for this, but I would prefer not to have surgery. Also, I've picked up a habit of masturbating twice a day, and I really want to stop doing it altogether. Any advice on how I can deal with these issues?

I'm feeling a bit confused and worried about my thyroid levels. I had a TSH level of 23, but my free T3 and T4 were normal. So, I decided to try the B56 homeopathy drops. At around the fourth month, my TSH improved to 8.4, but after finishing eight months, it's back up to 23. I'm just wondering why it would increase again and if maybe I should consider a different treatment?
