I'm a bit worried about my HbA1c level; it's at 5.9. Is this normal? If it's not, what should I do, and are there any specific precautions I should be taking?

I've been struggling with diabetic ulcers on both feet for the past 4 years and no doctor has been able to cure it completely. In 2013 they had to remove the middle finger of my right foot due to severe damage. Now my thumb is dislocated from the imbalance and keeps creating wounds, making it hard to walk long distances. I feel really frustrated that no doctor has been able to help. What can I do to first heal these foot ulcers and later get plastic surgery to fix my dislocated thumb? Recently there was pus so the doctor gave me IV antibiotics twice daily for 5 days but it didn't help. My average sugar is around 220 and now I'm taking ferobact 200 mg twice a day for 5 days as advised. Why isn't anything working for me?

plastic sx review for further tt is advised.

I've been dealing with this weird fruity smell on my breath and skin for about 13 months now, and my sweat has this strange syrupy scent too. My friend noticed it, and everything I read online points to diabetes. I had a full blood count done 3 months ago, and it came back fine, even with fasting. I'm really worried about thisdo you think I should see a doctor? I'm not having any other symptoms really, and I know I'm a self-diagnosed hypochondriac, but this just seems like it could be diabetes. What do you think?

I'm 21 years old and stand 5'1". I've heard about speed height capsules and ashwagandha powder. Are there any medicines or supplements out there that can actually help in increasing height? I'm really curious if these options work or if there are others I should consider.

Delayed periods can be concerning. Before considering any medication, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying causes, such as: 1. Pregnancy 2. Hormonal imbalances 3. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) 4. Thyroid issues If your doctor recommends inducing periods, they may prescribe: 1. _Medroxyprogesterone acetate_ (Provera): A progesterone hormone to regulate menstrual cycles. 2. _Norethisterone_ (Primolut-N): A synthetic progesterone to induce periods. Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to: 1. Unintended side effects 2. Interactions with other medications 3. Masking underlying conditions Consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and treatment.
