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 hypothyroidism and since taking my medication, my TSH levels have gone down to 1.66 from 6. I'm on 25 mcg of Thyronorm. Should I continue with the meds or is it okay to stop now?

s long as your TSH is within the normal range (and considering youre feeling well), it is generally safe to continue the medication. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to the dosage or stopping the medication. Your doctor will guide you with the best approach based on your individual health needs.
