Thyroid problem?
If you don’t have symptoms of hypothyroidism you won’t need medicine but if you experienced any weight gain, constipation, dry skin, or hair loss. READ MORE
Diabetic question?
You do not need another medication. What you are presenting is a case of Dawn phenomena, in which the morning blood glucose rises due to a transient surge in the Growth hormone and Cortisol level in the early morning hours and causes insulin resistance and hence transient morning hyperglycemia. No indication of treatment unless BG rises above 180 mg/dl. READ MORE
Diabetes management?
Many options are safe and available. If you don’t have a history of pancreatitis or retinal rye disease ask your physician to start you on Ozempic 1 injection weekly and titrate the dose up to 1 mg weekly over 3 months, it is effective and safe. If any nausea or abdominal pain stop ozempic and go to the ER to rule out pancreatitis. The other option is Glipizide 10 mg ER 1 tablet with lunch READ MORE
Diabetes 2?
No, you did have diabetes, but with your diet, healthy lifestyle, and Metformin, you managed to put it in remission/under control. If you restart high carb intake and drop the diabetic lifestyle, the diabetes will come back. READ MORE
