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'm on thyronorm 75 MCG since last June for subclinical hypothyroidism, my level was 7.50 back then. I haven't checked my thyroid levels or seen the doctor since because I've been feeling okay, but lately, I've been experiencing back pain and sometimes I get blue vision. Could this be related to the thyronorm tablets I'm taking? Any advice would be helpful.

There is no such relation,that could be due to spine problem,visit your physician for evaluation and appropriate management.
