Dear doctor,
A pregnant woman (6 months gestation) had an HbA1c level of 5. Fifteen days later, her fasting blood sugar was 89.5, and her 2-hour postprandial (PP) level was 161.5. Should she be started on medication for diabetes? Advice is needed.
I having Type 1 diabetes and Hypothyroidism. For years, I was on premixed insulins (Novomix 50 and Mixtard 30) without these symptoms.
Three months ago, my regimen changed to Actrapid before meals and Xglar at night. Since then, I have new symptoms, mainly at night: breathlessness, fast heartbeat, internal restlessness/panic, throat discomfort, and disturbed sleep.
ECG and basic tests are normal. A doctor prescribed Fluoxetine, Etizolam, Propranolol, and Livas, but I have not started them yet.
My labs show: HbA1c 8.5%, fasting glucose 253 mg/dL, TSH 10.1 (high), low iron, and low HDL.
These symptoms began only after the insulin change. I want to know if this could be due to insulin timing/dose and glucose swings, thyroid imbalance, or iron deficiency rather than anxiety. Should I correct these first before starting the psychiatric medicines? Is adjusting insulin or returning to my previous regimen reasonable?

Hello Doctor,
I am a 25-year-old male with a height of 163 cm and current weight of 95 kg. Around September 2025, I weighed 92 kg, but despite consistent gym training (primarily strength training), my weight has increased slightly. My estimated body fat is around 32–34%.
I have developed good strength (I can squat ~160 kg), and I believe I have gained muscle, but it is not visible due to higher body fat. My main challenge is controlling hunger and maintaining a calorie deficit, even though I train regularly and consume around 100 grams of protein daily.
I wanted to ask whether a medication like Semaglutide would be appropriate in my case to help control appetite and support fat loss.
Could you please guide me on:
1. Whether I am a suitable candidate for this medication
2. Potential risks or side effects considering my profile
3. Whether lifestyle changes alone would be preferable before starting medication
4. Any tests or evaluations required before considering this option
Thank
