Question 1

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?

Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention

_No Scientific Evidence_

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex.

_Papaya's Effect on Fertility_

Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy.

_Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption_

Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time.

_Reliable Contraception Methods_

To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as:

1. Condoms
2. Birth control pills
3. Intrauterine devices (IUDs)
4. Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B)

_What to Do Next_

If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can:

1. Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks.
2. Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex).
3. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.

Question 6

I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and takes glycomet cr500. I'm trying to understand if she's type 1 or type 2 diabetic. Also, I've heard about ime 9can it completely cure diabetes, or does it only help keep it under control?

Accepted Answer

Glycomet CR-500 is a medication typically prescribed for Type 2 diabetes; Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed at a younger age and requires insulin therapy, whereas Type 2 diabetes is often managed through lifestyle changes and oral medications like metformin (Glycomet); while Type 2 diabetes can be managed and controlled, it's considered a chronic condition, and there is no known "complete cure," but with proper treatment, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring, blood sugar levels can be effectively controlled.
