My father has central cervical stenosis and is partially paralyzed. A month ago, he developed a scrotal abscess that needed drainage. His sugar levels are too high for surgery, and the doctors say antibiotics aren't working because of his uncontrolled diabetes. What can we do in this situation? I'm really worried and don't know what steps to take next.

I'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.

I've been dealing with diabetes and lately, I've been having some trouble with my breathing and my sugar levels are pretty high too. Is there any way to manage or cure these issues? I'm really worried and just looking for some advice.
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.
