Medications like tamoxifen or danazol may shrink male breast tissue slightly but have side effects; surgery is more effective and permanent.

Question

Can someone be misdiagnosed with type 1 diabetes?

Question

I'm really worried because my mom has developed this small lump near her throat. We already got the tests done, but I'm hoping you could help me understand what this might mean.

I've been checking my blood sugar at home with a glucometer, and I got 99 before eating. Then, 2 hours after having lunchwhich was mainly a maida wrap, chocolate cake, and ice creamit shot up to 151, and 3 hours later, it was 148. Is this something I should be worried about?
