My dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I came across something called IME 9. I'm wondering if it's meant just for type 2 diabetes or if anyone with diabetes can use it? Also, how do we get it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Slow-Rising HCG Levels
General Guidelines
- HCG levels: A normal HCG increase is around 50-100% every 48 hours.
- Your levels: Your HCG levels rose from 4300 to 4500 in 4 days, which is a relatively slow increase.
Viable Pregnancy Concerns
- Possible concerns: Slow-rising HCG levels may indicate a potential issue with the pregnancy, such as a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or blighted ovum.
- Monitoring: Your healthcare provider will closely monitor your HCG levels and perform ultrasound scans to assess the pregnancy's viability.
HCG Injections
- Not recommended: HCG injections are not typically recommended to boost HCG levels.
- Potential risks: HCG injections can have side effects and may not address the underlying issue.
Next Steps
- Consult your healthcare provider: Discuss your concerns and HCG levels with your healthcare provider.
- Ultrasound scan: Schedule an ultrasound scan to assess the pregnancy's viability and fetal development.
- Close monitoring: Continue to monitor your HCG levels and report any changes or concerns to your healthcare provider.

View allI'm 27 and have been doing masturbation since I was 13. My testosterone level is only 269 ngml. My hair is thinning all over my body, and the hair roots seem weak. Even my beard is getting thin and gray. It feels like I'm showing signs of premature aging since June 2017. I saw a homeopathic doctor, but haven't seen much improvement in my hair. Is this something that can be fixed? I'm really worried about it. What should I do?
I would recommend starting with a medication called Finasteride at a dose of 1mg daily to help with hair loss. Additionally, you can consider using Minoxidil solution twice daily on the affected areas. These medications can help improve hair growth and thickness. As for your low testosterone levels, you may benefit from Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It's important to follow up regularly with your doctor to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan
