I'm noticing that my body always feels warm and seems to emit heat, even though I don't have a fever. My urine is also warm. This has been going on for quite a while. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can address it would be really appreciated. I've been diagnosed with low vitamin D and B12 levels and am currently taking supplements for those.

Your persistent bodily warmth, heat emission, and warm urine without fever could be related to various factors, including hyperthyroidism, hormonal imbalances, or increased metabolism, and it's good that you're addressing low vitamin D and B12 levels, but consider consulting an endocrinologist to rule out underlying conditions, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, avoid spicy foods, and dress comfortably to manage your body temperature.

I'm concerned about my blood sugar levels. My fasting blood sugar is 155, and my postprandial is 167, but my HbA1c is 6.4. I'm currently taking Glycomate GP 1 gm daily, but it doesn't seem to be controlling my sugar levels effectively. Can you suggest any other medications or adjustments I should consider? Also, when would be the best time for me to take them?
