  5. I've been taking glizid total p 7.5 as my doctor recommended, but I've recently moved and discovered the pharmacy here doesn't have it because it's no longer being made. Could you recommend an alternative that works the same way?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and takes glycomet cr500. I'm trying to understand if she's type 1 or type 2 diabetic. Also, I've heard about ime 9can it completely cure diabetes, or does it only help keep it under control?

Glycomet CR-500 is a medication typically prescribed for Type 2 diabetes; Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed at a younger age and requires insulin therapy, whereas Type 2 diabetes is often managed through lifestyle changes and oral medications like metformin (Glycomet); while Type 2 diabetes can be managed and controlled, it's considered a chronic condition, and there is no known "complete cure," but with proper treatment, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring, blood sugar levels can be effectively controlled.

I'm really worried about my wife's thyroid levels. Her TSH level came back as 8, which seems high, but her FT3 and FT4 are normal. Does this mean she has hypothyroidism? I looked it up and found something about subclinical hypothyroidism and a test f...

Based on the high TSH level and normal FT3 and FT4 levels, it is likely that your wife has subclinical hypothyroidism. The treatment for this condition typically involves taking Levothyroxine. The usual starting dose for Levothyroxine in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism is 25-50 mcg per day. It is important to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor thyroid function and adjust the dosage as needed.

I'm really worried after getting my wife's TSH test results. Her T3 is 1.15, T4 is 77.2, and TSH is 42.14. But the weird thing is, she doesn't show any obvious symptoms other than having an irregular menstrual cycle a couple of times and sometimes be...

Your wife may be experiencing subclinical hypothyroidism. This means that while her T3 and T4 levels are within normal range, her TSH level is elevated, indicating that her thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormone. The inflammation you mentioned could be indicative of thyroiditis, which is inflammation of the thyroid gland. To treat subclinical hypothyroidism, the common medication prescribed is Levothyroxine with dosage adjustments made based on individual response. It is important to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor thyroid function and adjust the dosage as needed. Given that your wife is experiencing symptoms such as tiredness, mood swings, and irregular menstrual cycles, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. While it may not be an emergency, addressing thyroid issues is important for overall health and well-being.
