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.

View allCould you advise on the correct dosage of vitamin D I should be taking and how often I need to take it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.
The recommended dose of vitamin D varies depending on age, deficiency level, and health status; generally, 600-800 IUday is recommended for adults, 1,000-2,000 IUday for deficient individuals, and 2,000-5,000 IUday for severe deficiencies; take vitamin D supplements with a fatty meal, preferably breakfast, and consider the following dosing schedules: - Mild deficiency: 600-800 IUday for 1-3 months - Moderate deficiency: 1,000-2,000 IUday for 3-6 months - Severe deficiency: 2,000-5,000 IUday for 6-12 months

I'm a university student and I've noticed disc-shaped lumps under both nipples on my chest, with the left one being slightly larger. It's causing me a lot of distress and embarrassment. Can this be treated with medication or is surgery the only option?
Pubertal gynecomastia often resolves on its own, but persistent distress may need surgical correction; medication has limited effect once gland is fully developed.

I've been dealing with this issue on and off for a while now where I'm experiencing high breathing and a high heart rate. An ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Lately, I've been noticing an increase in urine production and have been having some stomach issues. There's water vomit full of air bubbles and my stool and urine are also showing air bubbles, even though the urine tests didn't detect any protein. I've become very sensitive to the cold and have been having a low-grade fever that reaches around 100 degrees. Could you help me understand what's going on?
