I'm dealing with slightly elevated thyroid levels and I'm on Eltroxin 75 mg. I'm working on losing weightI'm going to the gym every day and I've lost a decent amount so far, but now my weight loss has stalled. Someone suggested I try creatine to boost my weightlifting and help burn more fat. The thing is, I'm not sure if it's safe with my thyroid situation. I also drink a lot of water, about 67 liters daily, in case that matters. Do you think creatine would be okay for me to use?

I'm really worried about my mom's diabetes treatment. She used to be on Ryzodeg 20 units and Human Actrapid 8 units, but because Ryzodeg is so expensive, our doctor suggested we switch to Lantus with the same dosage. I'm not sure if this substitute and dosage are the right decision for her condition. Could you please advise on whether this is the right approach?
