View allMy brother is 35 and has had diabetes for 6 years he was just diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and is really worried. His HbA1c is 6.5, and he's also losing muscle. Is there any reversible treatment for this or ways to slow it down? What's the life expectancy for someone with neuropathy, and will he need surgery? He's feeling really depressed about it.
Peripheral neuropathy from diabetes isn't completely reversible, but it can be managed to slow progression and alleviate symptoms. His HbA1c is 6.5, which is within the diabetic range, so it's crucial for him to work with his doctor to manage his blood sugar levels. Lifestyle changes, medications, and therapies can help manage pain, improve function, and improve quality of life. While surgery is not always necessary, it may be an option in some cases, especially if there's nerve compression or injury. Life expectancy can be affected, but it's influenced by many factors, including how well the neuropathy is managed and overall health

I'm a 40-year-old woman dealing with non-cancerous myopia of the adrenal glands for the past year. I'm really hesitant about major surgery are there any other treatment options I could explore instead?
For non-cancerous adrenal tumors causing myopia, which is not the usual term for adrenal issues, but more likely a concern about hormonal imbalances or adrenal tumors, the first line of treatment is often observation and monitoring if the tumor is small and not causing symptoms. Minimally invasive surgery, like laparoscopic or robotic adrenalectomy, is often used for adrenal tumors. Alternative treatments may include medications to manage hormone imbalances or, if adrenal insufficiency is a concern, hormone replacement therapy
