Can I switch to Human Mixtard 40 from Insulin Mixtard 30?

Patient's Query

I am diabetic patient since 2000 and taking insulin mixtard 30 hm penfill but this insulin short by company do I take human mixtard 40 as a substitute? Please advise me

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Due to shortage of your usual insulin mixtard 30, switching to human mixtard 40 could be an option as they are similar insulins. However, it's always best to consult with your diabetologist before making any changes to your medication. They can offer personalized advice based on your specific needs and health condition. It's important to ensure a smooth transition to the new insulin to avoid any disruptions in your blood sugar management. Your doctor will guide you on the correct dosage and usage of human mixtard 40.

My Vitamin d is 5. Is this very low and what symptoms i might feel in daily life?

Female | 29

A Vitamin D level of 5 is quite low. It can lead to symptoms like tiredness, muscle weakness, bone pain, and getting sick often. This can happen because your body needs Vitamin D to stay strong and healthy. You can increase your Vitamin D level by spending time in the sun, taking supplements, and eating foods like fish and eggs that contain Vitamin D.

Hello I am 20 years old since I was child I always have just a little energy for example when start to run after a few minute I feel very tired . I have a normal weight and height. I got a test now I know that I have subclinical Hypothyroid . I want to know it has a cure.

Male | 20

You seem to be having subclinical hypothyroidism. This illness is not transitory, and, hence, thyroid function also decreases; this is an example. The most common symptoms are fatigue, weight gain, and cold bones. It is good to have your tests done and know the cause. The procedure generally includes taking thyroid medicines that can help balance you out. Often, they manage to bring you improvement and give you a lot of energy.

Hello , I am 27 years old and i have testosterone value 2.89 ng/mL . And i make exercises fitness 3/4 days in week My question is : Can i take some testosterone ?

Male | 27

At your age, having a level of testosterone at 2.89ng/mL is right where it should be. There are several symptoms associated with lowT which include high fatigue levels, decreased libido, and even mood swings. It might be stress or some medical problems causing it; see a doctor before taking testosterone because if not done properly this could harm your body. If you sustain your exercise routine, eat well-balanced meals daily, and have adequate sleep every night -these activities will help maintain normal levels of this hormone.

My fsh level is 6.24 and lh is 24.1 are they normal

Female | 16

FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) regulate your reproductive system. Increased LH and decreased FSH levels may be the reason for diseases like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or early menopause. Symptoms could be a delay in periods, acquisition of acne, or trouble in pregnancy.

My c-peptide test results 7.69 Feeling empty stomach and weekness A am non diabetic

Male | 45

If your C-peptide test shows 7.69 and you’re not diabetic then it’s fine. Feeling empty stomachs and weakness can happen for different reasons. It’s common to have low energy when an individual hasn’t eaten anything for a while and this can be solved by taking small but frequent meals. Weakness could be due to lack of sleep, stress or not eating well-balanced meals. Ensure that you always take plenty of fluids and get enough rest.

I'm very skinny. I eat a lot but still I don't gain any weight

Male | 16

One potential reason is that you have a fast metabolism. Your body burns through calories very quickly, which can make it difficult for some people to gain weight. Other potential causes may include hyperthyroidism or problems with malabsorption. You should consult with a dietitian or nutritionist who will assist in creating a meal plan that helps increase your calorie intake healthily.

Male | 26

Your vitamin D3 level is lower than normal. Vitamin D3 deficiency can give you fatigue and weakness besides bone pain. It often happens when your body lacks exposure to sunlight or to some foods that are rich in vitamin D. For treating this condition, it is advisable to take vitamin D3 supplements that are prescribed by your doctor.

I have symptoms of vitamin d deficiency and got tested please can u prescribe medicine

Female | 50

Experiencing low vitamin D levels may lead to symptoms such as bone pain if proper daily food consumption and sun exposure are not met. A person may suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to insufficient exposure to sunlight and lack of vitamin D-enriched foods. The main causes are for instance unusual fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, and frequent sickening episodes. A good way to reinforce your vitamin D levels. Surely, vitamin D consists of supplements helping, for example, outdoor exercise for some time each day. The vitamin D in even more foods such as fish and egg yolks can help too.

Female | 23

Your routine shows good intentions, but certain adjustments could enhance your hormonal balance. Symptoms of estrogen dominance and high testosterone may include mood swings, irregular cycles, and weight changes. Ensure you’re consuming a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep, as rest significantly impacts hormone levels. Staying hydrated and managing stress through relaxation techniques can also help. While herbal remedies can be beneficial, consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice is crucial. They can guide you toward effective strategies tailored to your unique situation.

I am 16 year old boy. But doesn't have any facial hair . I am eating speman tablet Himalayas. Is it good...or will work ?

Male | 16

It's normal to be concerned about facial hair during teenage years; everybody grows differently. Our body directly uses the supplements for reproductive health so we can consider them as a part of our diet. Insufficient facial hair is because of genetic factors or it may also be due to low hormones. Talking to a doctor could be the best way to know more about the situation and get some help or advice.

My name is Minal Gupta. My fasting sugar level first time 110 and HBA1C level 5.7%. Is it normal?

Female | 31

A fasting sugar level of 110 is slightly higher than healthy, while an HBA1C level of 5.7% is considered within the normal range. High fasting sugar levels can be caused by not eating well. To deal with this, strive for a balanced diet and move your body more by engaging in light exercises or taking walks. Consult a doctor before taking any more steps.

Hormonal level imbalance I am a trans Having testosterone 1288 LH 2.46 FSH5

Other | 29

Hormonal equilibrium is the prime condition for human beings, and the variations in testosterone, FSH, and LH would be the obvious signs of such changes as fatigue, mood instability, and sexual problems. These distempers have several reasons, including hormone therapy, other diseases, or way of life. Therefore, the approach should be holistic in this matter. Proper diet, daily workout, and stress management also have a significant influence. I suggest you consider talking to a healthcare provider who is a specialist in transgender health for personalized advice and the possibility of adjusting your treatment plan.
