I've been struggling with gynaecomastia for a while now and tried everything from dieting to gym workouts and running, but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to fix this without going through surgery?

it is possible to decrease the breast prominence by a weight-loss and exercise program as a first-line treatment. Frequently, recurrence in patients affected by gynecomastia results from an imbalance between estradiol and testosterone, and such cases can resolve without surgical intervention.

I'm worried about my sugar levels. I checked them yesterday at the lab, and it was 220 mgdl before fasting and 280 mgdl after fasting. I'm diabetic, and I'm not sure what to do next or how to bring my sugar levels down. Could you suggest some treatments or actions I should consider?

She's been on medication for three days now. Do you think we should consult the doctor again to discuss her treatment plan?
