View allI'm a 43-year-old IT professional dealing with obesity and I've noticed that my fasting blood glucose level is at 148. I'm already on 1 tab of Asomex LT for hypertension which I take every night before bed. Can you suggest any medication or advice to help manage my high blood glucose levels? I'm starting to get a bit worried about it.
Fasting blood glucose should not exceed 100mgdl. The initial drug of choice for first line treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is Metformin 500mg. However, in order to get a more comprehensive understanding of your condition, you should undergo a panel of tests including FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, and URE. This data will help to curate a more effective treatment plan for you. You should also look into lifestyle modifications such as diet control, regular exercise, stress management and cessation of smokingdrinking (if you are a smokerdrinker).

I'm dealing with pseudogynecomastia or gynecomastia and really don't want to go through surgery. What can I do to get rid of it? Any advice would be appreciated!
vitamin B12 deficiency can be caused by poor diet, malabsorption issues, or certain medications, while vitamin D deficiency often results from inadequate sun exposure or poor dietary intake. Treatment typically involves supplements and dietary adjustments. It's best to consult a general physician or a specialist in nutrition or endocrinology for further guidance and treatment.

I've been diagnosed with colloid nodular goiter and was told surgery might be needed for the left side of my thyroid are there other treatment options I could consider instead?
Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for colloid nodular goiter, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and radioactive iodine treatment. RFA uses heat to shrink the nodule, while radioactive iodine is used to treat an overactive thyroid and may also help decrease the size of the goiter.
