What foods can diabetics eat freely?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Regular and consistent diet is most important, with no feasts and fasts. Split your diet into 3-4 meals. Avoid sugar and sugar containing foods, and fried foods. Avoid fats (butter, oil, malai) and fat rich foods (puri, paratha, chat, namkeen etc.) Choose healthy carbohydrates, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and low-fat milk, as part of your diabetes meal plan.

View allI'm a 26-year-old guy thinking about transitioning to female and I'm not quite sure where to start. How do I go about getting estrogen, and how much does it usually cost? Are there things I should be prepared for while going through this process?
ideally an endocrinologist or a gender-affirming clinic, for guidance on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including estrogen; they will assess your overall health, provide personalized advice, and prescribe medication if necessary; costs vary depending on location, insurance, and specific treatments, but expect around $30-100 per month for estrogen therapy; be prepared for regular monitoring, potential side effects, and emotional changes as you begin your transition journey.

I'm feeling a bit confused and worried about my thyroid levels. I had a TSH level of 23, but my free T3 and T4 were normal. So, I decided to try the B56 homeopathy drops. At around the fourth month, my TSH improved to 8.4, but after finishing eight months, it's back up to 23. I'm just wondering why it would increase again and if maybe I should consider a different treatment?

I'm 54 years old and dealing with thyroid issues and high uric acid levels. Currently, I'm taking Thyronorm 25 and Ubexa 40 for these conditions. My recent tests showed a TSH level of 9.90 and a uric acid level of 8. My cardiologist has also prescribed me several other medications like Nikoran OD 10, Clopitorva 20, and Dilzem CD 90. On top of all this, I'm taking Glimisave 1 for blood sugar and Tazloc H for blood pressure. I'm really worried about being on so many medications. Is there a way to reduce the number of pills I'm taking? What should I do?
I see that you are currently taking Thyronorm 25 for your thyroid, Ubexa 40 for uric acid, Nikoran OD 10, Clopitorva 20, Dilzem CD 90 for your heart, Glimisave 1 for blood sugar, and Tazloc H for blood pressure. Your recent test results show a TSH level of 9.90 and a uric acid level of 8. To address your thyroid issue, your TSH level is high, indicating hypothyroidism, so your Thyronorm dosage may need to be adjusted. For high uric acid, you can continue taking Ubexa 40 and also consider adding Allopurinol 100mg to lower the levels. To streamline your medication regimen, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about potentially adjusting or discontinuing certain medications based on your current health status and test results. It's important to regularly follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your conditions and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.
