Question

My dad has had type 2 diabetes for 15 years since he was 45 and also had bypass surgery. He's been on insulin all this time. I came across BGR34 tablets, which claim to be approved by the Indian government and developed by CSIR and NBRI labs. Is this medicine legit? Has it been proven to control blood sugar levels effectively? And is it safe for someone like my dad who's already on insulin?

BGR34 is an Ayurvedic formulation with limited scientific validation—safe if taken with insulin but not a replacement.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I used to have a vitamin D deficiency and went through a 3-month therapy for it. Lately, I've been feeling those same symptoms again, so I decided to start taking vitamin D supplements. But after taking the second 60,000 IU dose, I got a test done, and it showed my level at 40 ng. I'm wondering if this higher reading is because I just took the dose the day before, or if this is normal?

Question

I've been experiencing a really fast heartbeat and this weird internal vibrating sensation in my body for the past 45 days. My hands and legs won't stop shaking, and I feel quite nervous in the mornings. I've been on 25mcg thyronorm for about 5 years now, but these symptoms just started. What's going on?
