What is the relationship between weight loss and diabetes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
When you weigh less, your pancreas is better able to keep up with your body's need for insulin. It also lessens your risk for other serious complications of diabetes, including heart problems, kidney disease and nerve damage.

I'm a bit worried about my thyroid situation. I've been on Electroxin, taking 25 mcg and 50 mcg on alternate days, along with some homeopathic treatment. Recently, my blood test came back with a TSH level of 8.3, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal at 89 ngdl and 7.6 mgdl. I've had thyroid issues for the past 6 years and, initially, I was on 100 mcg of Electroxin. Over the past year, as I began homeo treatments, my doctor gradually reduced the dosage to where it is now. Should I be concerned about the TSH level, and what steps should I take next?
No your Thyroid levels are not regulated don't switch in such manner that might lead to serious problems visit Endocrinologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm a 22-year-old male, and I've recently noticed that my nipples are puffy. When I press them, I can feel a lot of lumps underneathsome are small, some are big, flat, or even pointed, and they're quite painful. Should I be worried about this? Is there something specific I should do or look out for?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called gynecomastia, which is the swelling of breast tissue in boys or men caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. In your case, the presence of painful lumps in both nipples could indicate a more severe form of gynecomastia. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a topical pain relief gel like Voltaren gel on the affected area. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management of your condition.
