Can you still have PCOS even if your periods are regular? Is there a risk of infertility in this situation? Should I be taking any medication for my acne? My DHT levels are normal, but my ultrasound shows bilateral polycystic ovaries. Is this different from PCOS? I'm worried about starting cytomid because of its side effects and considering I don't even have high DHT. Can you help me with these concerns about medication and PCO?

What is type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. It occurs when the insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas are completely destroyed, so the body can't produce any insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the islet cells are still working. However, the body is resistant to insulin.

I'm dealing with vitamin deficienciesit looks like my vitamin D and B12 levels are low. Vitamin D is at 14.92 ngml and B12 is at 202 pgml. What could these low levels mean for my health, and what steps should I take to address this? I'm a bit worried about the impact they might have on me.
I recommend taking "Drisdol" at a dosage of 50,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 800-2000 IU per day. For Vitamin B12 deficiency, I recommend taking "Cyanocobalamin" at a dosage of 1000 mcg once daily for a few weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 100-200 mcg per day.
