Is It Possible for Type 2 diabetes to Turn into Type 1?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is not possible for type 2 diabetes to turn into type 1 diabetes. However, a person who originally receives a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes may still get a separate diagnosis of type 1 at a later date. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type, so a doctor might initially suspect that an adult with diabetes has type 2.

I've been dealing with gynecomastia and want to know which specialist I should see for this. What's the usual treatment process would I need surgery or are there newer options with faster recovery and minimal scarring? If surgery is the way, what type of doctor should I consult for it?
For gynecomastia, you should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for surgical treatment or a cosmetic surgeon, or an endocrinologist if you suspect hormonal imbalance is a factor. Surgery is often the most effective solution, with liposuction and mastectomy being the main procedures. Newer, less invasive techniques offer faster recovery and minimal scarring.

I'm 53 with diabetes and high BP, currently taking jalra dianorm m 1000 and metformin for sugar, plus apresol and beta nicardia for BP. My sugar levels stay fine when I skip BP meds, but spike badly when I take them. Why does this happen and how can I manage both conditions since I need cataract surgery soon?
Patient is advised to continue BP and sugar medications through out his lifetime,Also during his cataract surgery his BP and diabetes are to be controlled then only patient can be taken for the surgery.
