I'm really concerned about my mother's health. She's 57 and we just found out she has diabetes about a week ago. We've been monitoring her levels and today her sugar level hit 340 randomly. She's been on medication for three days now. Do you think we should consult the doctor again to discuss her treatment plan?

View allI recently got my test results for Vitamin D, calcium, and B12. The results showed Calcium at 9.46 mgdL, Vitamin B12 at 436 pgmL, Vitamin D2 at 1.02 ngmL, Vitamin D3 at 17.9 ngmL, and overall Vitamin D at 18.92 ngmL. I realize my Vitamin B12 is on the lower side and Vitamin D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?

What are the success chances when transferring a grade 2 embryo? I've got three of these, each being a grade 2 on day 3. Could you also explain how the grading works and what my chances of conceiving might be?
The success chances of a grade 2 embryo transfer are relatively good, considering day 3 embryo grades are categorized into four quality levels. - Grade 1 (poor quality): More than 25% fragmentation - Grade 2 (fair quality): 10-25% fragmentation - Grade 3 (good quality): 1-10% fragmentation - Grade 4 (excellent quality): Less than 1% fragmentation Studies have shown that embryos across all grades can lead to healthy births, but higher-quality embryos have better success rates. For day 3 embryos, the success rates are generally lower compared to blastocyst-stage embryos. To give you a better idea, here are some general success rates for embryo transfers based on the embryo's quality and stage of development : - Excellent-grade blastocysts: 65% pregnancy rate and 50% live birth rate - Good-grade blastocysts: 59.3% pregnancy rate and 49.7% live birth rate - Average-grade blastocysts: 50.3% pregnancy rate and 42.3% live birth rate - Poor-grade blastocysts: 33.3% pregnancy rate and 25% live birth rate Keep in mind that these are general estimates and actual success rates can vary depending on individual circumstances and the specific fertility clinic. Given that you have three grade 2 embryos, your chances of conceiving are still relatively good, but it's essential to consult with your fertility specialist to discuss the best course of action and determine the most suitable embryo transfer strategy for your specific situation.
