A diabetic patient experiencing breathing difficulties and high blood sugar levels may be experiencing a condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This is a serious complication of diabetes that requires immediate medical attention. To address the breathing problems, the patient may need oxygen therapy to ensure proper oxygen levels in the blood. In terms of managing high blood sugar levels, the patient may require insulin therapy to help lower blood sugar levels effectively. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels closely and adjust insulin doses as needed. Additionally, ensuring proper hydration is crucial in managing DKA. It is essential for the patient to seek medical help promptly to receive appropriate treatment and prevent further complications.

Recently found out I have a pineocytoma and a non-functional pituitary microadenoma on my MRI. I've been taking Eltroxin for thyroid issues for the past 15 years, and my recent hormone tests T3, T4, TSH, prolactin, ACTH, and growth hormone are all normal. Is there any way to treat these tumors with medication or do I need surgery?
