My mother has been experiencing vision problems for the past 8 to 10 days. After a checkup and some tests, the doctor said she has a retina problem with blood clotting and swelling behind the retina in her left eye. What should be done next for proper treatment?

I have undergone a serum insulin test, and the result is 7.57?microIU/mL. Is this considered dangerous or concerning?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

As per my blood report, GHb (HbA1C) is 10.3. Does this mean I am diabetic? Can it be reduced? I have never had any symptoms of diabetes.

I recently got my blood sugar test done with fasting and my report showed 99 mg/dl. I performed the same test 8 months ago and it was 84. I am also currently undergoing homeopathy treatment. Please advise if my report is normal. I do not want it to reach 100 mg/dl. How can I lower it? I am worried.
