I've been struggling with diabetic ulcers on both feet for the past 4 years and no doctor has been able to cure it completely. In 2013 they had to remove the middle finger of my right foot due to severe damage. Now my thumb is dislocated from the imbalance and keeps creating wounds, making it hard to walk long distances. I feel really frustrated that no doctor has been able to help. What can I do to first heal these foot ulcers and later get plastic surgery to fix my dislocated thumb? Recently there was pus so the doctor gave me IV antibiotics twice daily for 5 days but it didn't help. My average sugar is around 220 and now I'm taking ferobact 200 mg twice a day for 5 days as advised. Why isn't anything working for me?

View allCan you tell me if there's a chance I'll grow taller after turning 16? I stopped playing sports and doing physical activities for the past couple of years. I'm really curious and a bit worried about it.
After 16, significant height increase is unlikely, as the growth plates in your bones typically fuse by age 14-16 in girls and 16-18 in boys; however, some studies suggest that certain exercises, like hanging, swimming, or yoga, may help stretch and align your spine, potentially leading to a small, temporary increase in height (up to 1-2 inches), but this is not a guaranteed or permanent increase.

I'm a bit concerned because for the past couple of months, my urine has been a deep yellow color. I'm wondering if this might be related to the glyciphage tablets I take. Could there be a connection, or is there something else I should consider?
The yellow urine indicates a lot of things like even if you are not taking enough water, the urine can be yellow. As said by my colleague, if you are on any multivitamin also it can be yellow. Have you started noticing after taking the glyciphage tablet or was OK in the past with the tablet also? Urinary tract infection can also cause a dark coloured urine. Here is what you can do, drink upto four litres of water a day and get a urine complete test done.
