Each person's story and journey of handling diabetes is different. One thing which is mostly common is that with good diet, lifestyle changes, exercise and medications, most patients could lead almost a healthy lifestyle.

I've been diagnosed with diabetes since I was 25 and have been managing it with insulin. Recently, I came across something called IME9 TABLETS on TV, which is described as an Ayurvedic wonder drug for diabetes and is supposedly approved by the government of India. Is this a legitimate medicine? Has it really been proven to help control blood glucose levels? And most importantly, is it safe to use? What's the deal with this?

IME-9 Tablets are a combination of Ayurvedic herbs and minerals that are marketed for diabetes management. However, as a medical doctor, I would recommend sticking to the insulin therapy prescribed by your healthcare provider for managing your diabetes. Insulin is a proven and effective treatment for diabetes, especially in younger individuals like yourself. While IME-9 Tablets may be approved by the government of India, the efficacy and safety of these tablets in controlling blood glucose levels may not be well-established compared to insulin therapy. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan.

I've been dealing with excessive sweating for the past couple of years, and it's to the point where it feels like I've just had a bath. I've had all the tests done and everything seems normal, but it's really bothering me. Is there something that could be causing this or something else I should be looking into? What could be going on here?

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be quite bothersome. Since your tests are normal, you may consider trying anticholinergic medications to help reduce sweating. One commonly prescribed medication is Glycopyrrolate, which can be taken orally in a dose of 1-2 mg twice daily. Another option is topical application of Aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution, which can be applied to the affected areas at night. It is important to follow up with your doctor to monitor the effectiveness and any potential side effects of these medications.

I'm really worried because every time I get pregnant, I end up having a miscarriage. I'm wondering if this will keep happening. I've seen several gynecologists, but none of them can pinpoint why this is occurring. I also had two ectopic pregnancies on the right side, which led to my right tube being removed in April 2016. I've been trying to conceive again since August, but nothing's working out. Any insight on what could be going on or what I should do next?
