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
I am type 2 diabetic. Taking insulin 75 unit. Have gas and constipation problem. I am aged 61. Having diabetic for morenthan 25 years.

Hi dr I am 32 Years
And now 5 week pregnant also.
Weight Journey: Reduced from 66.5 kg to 57.5 kg in 3 months (Jan to March).
Medical History:
HbA1c in December: 7.0% (Fasting sugar was between 98–116 mg/dL)post meal always below 120 in glucometr.Recent HbA1c (March 22): 5.6% (Achieved through only diet and exercise).
Current Diet Plan:
Lunch: 4 tablespoons of Rice + High Protein (Fish/Egg/Pulses) + Salad.
Breakfast & Dinner: 1 or 2 small portions of Wheat or Ragi.
Frequency: Eating small portions every 2–3 hours.
Since April, my home glucometer shows readings below 100 mg/dL (Fasting: 91–97, Post-meal: 89-95). In January, these were consistently between 110–120 mg/dL. Is it possible my glucometer is faulty, or is this drop normal due to my weight loss and early pregnancy? current and same diet sufficient for the baby's development?which test should i perform to get my actual glucose level at this stage ogtt or norml blood test??
English translation:
“My father is diabetic. He is on medication. After 3 months, his test results showed fasting 230 and PP 300. I have shared the medicines he is taking. What should be done now?”
