I'm really worried about what kind of food is safe for a diabetic patient. Can she have jaggery instead of sugar? Also, could you let me know what kinds of dry fruits she can eat and how much is okay?

I've been hitting the gym consistently for the past couple of months and can definitely feel myself getting stronger. But I've been reading online and I'm worried I might have low testosterone since a lot of the symptoms match what I've been experiencing. How do I go about testing my testosterone levels? Also, is there any medication to boost testosterone that wont come with major side effects? Just so you know, I've got hypertension and I'm overweight, though I've been shedding some pounds slowlycurrently at 88 kgs and I'm 5ft 7inches.

To test your testosterone levels, consult an endocrinologist who will recommend a blood test, typically taken in the morning when testosterone levels are highest, and may also perform a physical exam and review your medical history; if diagnosed with low testosterone, treatment options may include testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) via gels, patches, or injections, but be aware that TRT may have side effects, such as acne, sleep apnea, or prostate issues; given your hypertension and weight status, lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, weight loss, and stress management, can also help boost testosterone levels naturally.
