I'm thinking about giving my 77-year-old diabetic parent a daily tablet of ceeplus, which is an immunity booster containing 1000 mg of vitamin C, 2000 IU of vitamin D3, and 50 mg of zinc. Is it safe to include this in their routine to help boost their immunity?

View allI'm looking to understand why there's a sudden increase in Vitamin B12 levels. The recent blood test showed it at 1346 pgml, whereas the normal range is 180-914 pgml. Could it be because of the Neurobian Forte injection she got when admitted to the hospital for a high fever a couple of weeks earlier? Could that injection have caused the spike? Any insights would be appreciated!
Elevated Vitamin B12 levels can be caused by various factors. Considering the recent hospital admission and Neurobion Forte injection, it's possible that the injection contributed to the high Vitamin B12 levels. _Neurobion Forte Injection_ 1. _Contains Vitamin B12_: Neurobion Forte injections typically contain a combination of vitamins, including Vitamin B12. 2. _High dose_: The injection might have contained a high dose of Vitamin B12, leading to elevated levels. _Other Possible Causes_ 1. _Recent supplementation_: Other Vitamin B12 supplements or multivitamins taken recently could contribute to high levels. 2. _Liver or kidney issues_: Certain liver or kidney conditions can cause elevated Vitamin B12 levels. 3. _Other medical conditions_: Some medical conditions, such as leukemia or lymphoma, can also cause high Vitamin B12 levels. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult the doctor_: Discuss the elevated Vitamin B12 levels with the doctor who administered the Neurobion Forte injection. 2. _Repeat testing_: Schedule a follow-up blood test to monitor Vitamin B12 levels. 3. _Review medication and supplements_: Ensure that no other Vitamin B12 supplements or medications are being taken.

I'm a 43-year-old IT professional dealing with obesity and I've noticed that my fasting blood glucose level is at 148. I'm already on 1 tab of Asomex LT for hypertension which I take every night before bed. Can you suggest any medication or advice to help manage my high blood glucose levels? I'm starting to get a bit worried about it.
Fasting blood glucose should not exceed 100mgdl. The initial drug of choice for first line treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is Metformin 500mg. However, in order to get a more comprehensive understanding of your condition, you should undergo a panel of tests including FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, and URE. This data will help to curate a more effective treatment plan for you. You should also look into lifestyle modifications such as diet control, regular exercise, stress management and cessation of smokingdrinking (if you are a smokerdrinker).

Can you take Thyronorm on an empty stomach before brushing your teeth? And is it really necessary to wait at least an hour before eating or drinking anything after you've taken the medicine? I'm trying to make sure I'm doing it right.
