I'm 40 and my fasting sugar levels are usually around 110. I'm really committed to both intense cardio and strength workouts, and I'm sticking to a low-carb and low-fat diet. I'm really hoping to get my fasting sugar down into the 90s. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could do to achieve that?

View allI'm really concerned about my wife's health because her vitamin D levels are super low; it's only at 8 when it should be around 40. Our doctor has prescribed her these vitamin D3 sachets, each containing 60,000 units. She's supposed to take one sachet a week for six weeks, and then after that, it's one sachet every two weeks for another six weeks. That seems like a lot to me. I'm curious if 60,000 units is too high of a dosage for her?
The dosage of 60,000 units of vitamin D3 once a week for 6 weeks, followed by once every two weeks for the next 6 weeks, is a common treatment regimen for correcting severe vitamin D deficiency. This high dosage is typically used to rapidly increase vitamin D levels in the body. It is important to follow the prescribed regimen as directed by the doctor to effectively raise the vitamin D levels.

Can someone with diabetes donate blood? I've got an O negative blood type and would love to donate if I can. I'm on meds for thyroid, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, and I'm also dealing with obesity, but all these things are managed and under control right now.
Empty Sac with Delayed Yolk Sac Development: Next Steps_ Given the initial empty sac at 8 weeks and the subsequent appearance of a 3.5mm yolk sac, the situation is uncertain. A yolk sac size of 3.5mm is smaller than expected for an 8-week pregnancy. _Possible Scenarios:_ 1. _Delayed embryonic development_: The embryo might be developing slower than expected. 2. _Miscarriage or failed pregnancy_: Unfortunately, this is also a possible outcome. _Recommended Actions:_ 1. _Wait for a few more days_: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 7-10 days to reassess the pregnancy. 2. _Monitor hCG levels_: Track your human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels to ensure they're rising appropriately. 3. _Prepare for possible outcomes_: Understand that the pregnancy may not be viable, and be prepared for that possibility. Please consult your gynaecologist

I'm 54 years old and dealing with thyroid issues and high uric acid levels. Currently, I'm taking Thyronorm 25 and Ubexa 40 for these conditions. My recent tests showed a TSH level of 9.90 and a uric acid level of 8. My cardiologist has also prescribed me several other medications like Nikoran OD 10, Clopitorva 20, and Dilzem CD 90. On top of all this, I'm taking Glimisave 1 for blood sugar and Tazloc H for blood pressure. I'm really worried about being on so many medications. Is there a way to reduce the number of pills I'm taking? What should I do?
I see that you are currently taking Thyronorm 25 for your thyroid, Ubexa 40 for uric acid, Nikoran OD 10, Clopitorva 20, Dilzem CD 90 for your heart, Glimisave 1 for blood sugar, and Tazloc H for blood pressure. Your recent test results show a TSH level of 9.90 and a uric acid level of 8. To address your thyroid issue, your TSH level is high, indicating hypothyroidism, so your Thyronorm dosage may need to be adjusted. For high uric acid, you can continue taking Ubexa 40 and also consider adding Allopurinol 100mg to lower the levels. To streamline your medication regimen, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about potentially adjusting or discontinuing certain medications based on your current health status and test results. It's important to regularly follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your conditions and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.
