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 really concerned about my father. He's diabetic and took Glycomet GP 2 Forte for about 25 days. Then, out of nowhere, his sugar levels dropped drastically. We saw a doctor who told us to give him sweets, and that seemed to help, bringing his levels back to normal. The doctor checked his kidney, liver, heart, and blood pressure, and everything seemed fine. But then at night, he's been feeling strange. He gets this heat in his chest, pain, a metallic taste in his mouth, tension, and sometimes he wakes up suddenly. We've consulted both a general medicine doctor and a diabetes specialist, but we're not sure why he's experiencing these symptoms. Any idea what's going on?

I'm really worried about my wife's thyroid levels. Her TSH is 12.12, T3 is 103, and T4 is 5.6. She's been having these mood swings, dry skin, constipation, headaches, and her voice sounds kind of child-like. She's 30. What kind of medication might help with this?
Your wifes thyroid levels suggest hypothyroidism, as indicated by the elevated TSH. She may need thyroid hormone replacement therapy, typically Levothyroxine, to regulate her thyroid function. It's best to consult her doctor for a precise dosage based on her specific needs and symptoms.
