What happens when diabetics eat sugar?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Hyperglycemia , the excess sugar passes from your blood into your urine, which triggers a filtering process that draws tremendous amounts of fluid from your body. Left untreated, this can lead to life-threatening dehydration and a diabetic coma.

I'm really looking to increase my height at 26 years old. At the moment, I'm 5'6" and I'd love to reach around 5'9" or 5'10". I've heard about HGH supplements like L-arginine or L-lysinedo these actually work for someone my age? If not, are there any other supplements you might recommend for height growth? I stay active with yoga, running, stretching, and jumping. Would love your advice!

Unfortunately, at the age of 26, your growth plates have likely fused, making it very difficult to increase height through supplements or exercises. HGH supplements like l-arginine or l-lysine may not significantly impact your height at this stage. However, you can consider taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to maintain bone health. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals can support overall health and potentially optimize your height potential.

I've been told I have a Vitamin D level of 12 ngml. I'm currently using Calcerol sachets as a supplement once each week. Is this the right choice, and how long should I continue with it?

Your Vitamin D level is low at 12 ngml. Taking Calcerol sachets once a week is a suitable supplement to increase your Vitamin D levels. You can continue taking Calcerol sachets once a week for at least 8-12 weeks to see an improvement in your Vitamin D levels. After that, your doctor may recommend a maintenance dose to keep your Vitamin D levels within the normal range.

I'm really worried because we're trying to have a baby and just found out my partner's TSH levels are at 10.34. She's not on any medication yet since we just diagnosed it now. Should we focus on getting the TSH levels under control before trying to conceive, or is it safe to plan for a baby right now? Any advice on what we can do in the meantime to help manage it?

Zincovit is a multivitamin supplement containing zinc, vitamins, and minerals. _Taking Two Zincovit Tablets Per Day_ 1. _Generally safe_: Taking two Zincovit tablets per day is generally considered safe, but it's essential to follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor. 2. _Zinc toxicity risk_: Excessive zinc consumption (>150 mgday) can lead to zinc toxicity. Zincovit typically contains 15-20 mg of zinc per tablet, so taking two tablets per day should not exceed the safe limit. 3. _Interactions with medications_: Zinc can interact with certain medications, such as antibiotics and blood thinners. Consult your doctor if you're taking any medications. _Best Time to Take Zincovit_ 1. _With meals_: Take Zincovit with meals to enhance absorption and minimize stomach upset. 2. _Morning or evening_: You can take Zincovit at any time of day, but taking it in the morning may help boost energy levels throughout the day.
