I've been taking Teneligliptin 20 mg daily along with Mixtard insulin for the last three weeks, and it seems to be helping with controlling the variations in my readings throughout the day. But I'm a bit concerned because I've heard about possible side effects, especially since I have a heart condition. On top of that, I recently found out my Vitamin D levels are low, so I'm taking DRetcal 60k once a week. Do you think Teneligliptin and the Vitamin D supplement will work together to help manage my diabetes better? My HbA1C is around 9, and I've been dealing with diabetes for quite a while now. Is there anything specific I should watch out for?

I'm a 23-year-old guy, standing at 5'9.5". I'm really interested in knowing if I can still increase my height at this age. Could you give me some advice on this?

Growth plates in the bones of the human body close by the age of 18-21 years (for males). After these growth plates close, it is generally not possible to increase height through natural methods or medical intervention like growth hormone therapy. You may try to improve posture or focus on stretching and yoga in order to increase your perceived height.

What is the best diet for diabetics?

Regular and consistent diet is most important, with no feasts and fasts. Split your diet into 3-4 meals. Avoid sugar and sugar containing foods, and fried foods. Avoid fats (butter, oil, malai) and fat rich foods (puri, paratha, chat, namkeen etc.) Choose healthy carbohydrates, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and low-fat milk, as part of your diabetes meal plan.
