I've been feeling really tired, sleepy, and even a bit down lately. My recent blood tests showed my vitamin D level is at 14.34 and my B12 is at 164. Could these low levels be the reason for how I'm feeling? What should I do about it?

Missing the 3rd shot and taking it later with the 4th shot might slightly increase the risk of rabies, but the overall risk is still low.
The prompt washing of the wound with soap and immediate initiation of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) reduced the risk.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends completing the full PEP course, even if delayed.
Monitor yourself for any symptoms of rabies, such as fever, headache, or numbness, for the next few weeks.
Consult your doctor for guidance and reassurance.

My father has had type 2 diabetes for 20 years and also had bypass surgery 8 years ago. He's currently on insulin but we found two ayurvedic tablets IME9 and BGR34 from Indian labs. Which one would be safer and more effective for his condition?
As a doctor, I would advise caution with IME9 and BGR34, as they are not well-studied in large clinical trials. Since your father has long-standing diabetes and a cardiac history, it's best to continue his current treatment and consult his physician before adding any supplements, as they may interact with existing medications.
