Suggest Treatment For High Sugar Level, Weight Loss And Vitamin-D Deficiency
I am from India, working in Riyadh Saudi Arabia for last 5 years. I am a diabetic patient since almost 5 years. Last year I tried some natural medicine which brought fro India ( chittamruthum). Without any English medicine my sugar level came normal. But unfortunately, I could not continue the same medicine so the level of sugar went up, then I start the English medicine again.

Hi,
High blood sugar levels, weight loss, and vitamin D deficiency are all common problems faced by people with diabetes. It is important to manage blood sugar levels to prevent long-term complications such as kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems. In terms of treatment, it is important to follow the recommendations of your doctor and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. This may involve taking medications such as metformin or insulin injections, and making lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise.
To address vitamin D deficiency, you may need to take supplements or increase your sun exposure. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining bone health and overall immune system function. Black stool can be caused by a variety of factors, including medications, dietary changes, and underlying medical conditions. If you have been taking iron supplements, this may be the cause of your black stool. Speak with your doctor about the cause of your symptoms and a course of treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
