Should I be so worried about being a type 1 diabetic?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Over time, type 1 diabetes complications can affect major organs in your body, including heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes and kidneys. Maintaining a normal blood sugar level can dramatically reduce the risk of many complications. Eventually, diabetes complications may be disabling or even life-threatening.

View allI've been dealing with erectile dysfunction and went to see a doctor about it. He recommended I get tests for testosterone, vitamin B12, prolactin, and FSH. My results came back, showing testosterone at 2 ngml, vitamin B12 at 182 pgml, FSH at 2.99 mIUml, and prolactin at 7.21 ngml. I'm scheduled to see him on Thursday, but I'm feeling really anxious and worried. Is a testosterone level of 2 ngml considered critically low when the normal range is 2.8 to 8? I'm a 29-year-old male, 178 cm tall, and weigh 95 kg. I used to smoke. Can you give me any advice on this?

I have a 4x4 cm nodule in the left lobe of my thyroid and a smaller 1x1 cm nodule in the right lobe. My T3, T4, and TSH levels are normal, but the FNAC showed papillary clusters with chewing gum colloid and no nuclear grooves. The report suggests an excision biopsy to rule out papillary carcinoma. Could this be cancer or is it likely benign? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I should consider?
Once the biopsy report is confirmed whether it is beningn or malignant ,diagnosis can be arrived.If cancerous thyroidectomy or hemithyroidectomy is advised based on the size and location of thevtumour in the thyroid.A sugeon opinion is advised.
