How can I advocate for cushing disease diagnosis effectively?
The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

Am I experiencing high or low blood sugar symptoms?
When blood sugar levels sink, the body reacts by asking for energy and makes you feel tired, hungry, and weak. As a remedy, you can have a snack that contains carbohydrates, such as fruit or whole-grain crackers. Your sugar level will increase and you will be in a better mood. Diabetes management and regular eating are preventive measures against the occurrence of this problem in the future.
