My benign goiter in the left lobe of the thyroid was confirmed by FNAC in 2015. The recent USG from October 2017 shows it's grown to 3.6 cm by 2.4 cm compared to 1.8 cm by 2 cm in May 2015. Should I consider surgery now or is it okay to just monitor it with follow-ups every 6 months?

If your goiter has grown, surgery might be considered, especially if it‚Äôs affecting your breathing or swallowing. Regular follow-up every 6 months with an endocrinologist is advisable to monitor its progress.

I'm really worried about my mom's diabetes treatment. She used to be on Ryzodeg 20 units and Human Actrapid 8 units, but because Ryzodeg is so expensive, our doctor suggested we switch to Lantus with the same dosage. I'm not sure if this substitute and dosage are the right decision for her condition. Could you please advise on whether this is the right approach?
