Why do I have water in my feet bone?
Water retention in the feet can occur due to thyroid issues, leading to symptoms like swelling and discomfort. This happens because your thyroid regulates metabolism and fluid balance, and any imbalance can result in excess fluid accumulation. To manage this, try elevating your legs, reducing salt intake, and staying active with light exercises. Hydration is also important, as it helps your body manage fluid levels. It’s advisable to consult an endocrinologist for personalized advice and treatment options, ensuring that any underlying conditions are properly addressed. They can guide you effectively towards improving your situation.

Why Gynecomastia in My Left Side?
Gynecomastia on one side can present as swelling or tenderness in the breast tissue. Common causes include hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or underlying health issues.

How can I ask my doctor to test for LADA with Hashimoto's and Type 2 diabetes?
Given your situation, it makes sense to discuss LADA testing with your doctor. You can say, “I’ve been reading about diabetes types and would like to explore the possibility of LADA, especially since I have Hashimoto’s.” Ask specifically for antibody tests like GAD65 or IA-2 for a clearer diagnosis. It's important to communicate your concerns, emphasizing how testing could impact your care. If your doctor dismisses the idea, seeking a second opinion or an endocrinologist may be beneficial.

Can getting diabetes injection cause sugar-related issues in sleep?
Diabetic injections, such as insulin, are specifically designed for managing blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. If a healthy person receives such an injection, their body generally manages well without experiencing severe symptoms. However, it could potentially cause temporary low blood sugar, leading to dizziness, shakiness, or sweating. It’s always wise to avoid unnecessary medical risks. If there’s any concern or if symptoms arise, consulting an endocrinologist is crucial for guidance.
