I'm really worried about my mom's diabetes treatment. She used to be on Ryzodeg 20 units and Human Actrapid 8 units, but because Ryzodeg is so expensive, our doctor suggested we switch to Lantus with the same dosage. I'm not sure if this substitute and dosage are the right decision for her condition. Could you please advise on whether this is the right approach?

I've been having nipple erection, and they seem really puffy. I'm worried it might be gynecomastia or something like that. Whenever I wear t-shirts, my nipples stick out and it's super embarrassing. A pulmonologist suggested I take Augmentin 625mg twice a day and Rantac 150mg both after eating. I'm just wondering if this is the right treatment for this problem. Could you give me some advice on what to do?
Nipple erection and puffy nipples can indeed be symptoms of gynecomastia. However, Augmentin (625mg twice a day) and Rantac (150mg after food) are not typically used to treat gynecomastia. Augmentin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Rantac is used to reduce stomach acid. For gynecomastia, the treatment approach may vary depending on the underlying cause. It is important to follow up with your pulmonologist or a specialist in gynecomastia for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

My mom's 57 and she's been on omnacortil 10 mg for the past 8 years because of her skin Ellery disease. But now she's got diabetes and some BP issues, so the doctors said she can't take it anymore. Ever since she stopped, she's really weak, can't eat, and is vomiting. What should we do? Can you help us out?
sudden withdrawal from long-term steroid use (8 years) can lead to severe adrenal insufficiency, and the doctor may recommend a gradual tapering off of omnacortil to prevent withdrawal symptoms, while also managing her diabetes, BP, and skin condition with alternative treatments.
