    How early? By time you have insulin resistance its been 5 - 10 of excess insulin in your system. Prediabetes and diabetes cannot be fixed by or moderated by insulin at this point. It will make the diseases worse! The insulin has to be brought down by lifestyle changes.. Sleep, diet and exercise. You will stop hurting people if you go and watch professor Ben Bikmans (researcher of insulin and fat in his on lab) UA-cam channel... Metabolic classroom. Unless you are talking about Type 1's then insulin is needed but a lot less (if any) is needed if the lifestyle is proper. Hopefully you are not too busy to learn like most ignorant doctors are. Yep I'm the guy my doctor hates.. Cause I'm more book smarter then he is.. 😁 😉 🤣 Your vehicle sounds fast. Vroom..

    Actually it is a weight loss drug, it reduces hunger, causing you to eat less, also since it reduces the hormone insulne, causing one to stop storing fat. You can be on a caloric deficit all u want and still gain weight if ur insulin is high. By using this drug, it reduces insulin/ blood sugar. Allowing you to have an effective caloric deficit. What you should say is that its purpose is not meant for weight loss, although it does .

    • @Pezhman101

      If a nodule has been completely treated it is extremely likely that it will grow back. If their areas of untreatment those areas can possibly go back. Our 4+ year data shows no regrowth for nodules that have been successfully treated.

    I had Papillary thyroid cancer back in 2018 and I was BRAF positive. I had a complete thyroidectomy and they removed 3 lymph nodes, one of which was positive for cancer. I have had a multitude of health problems since then...much of which is most likely autoimmune disease related. I have lumps all over my abdomen, arms, and some on my legs. I had 5 removed a few months ago which were determined to be lipomas. I have probably a hundred more. I am assuming dercums but nobody seems to want to help me as far as treatment goes. They are very painful. So, the last couple of years I have had something growing on my collar bone. I have had US and they say its probably a lipoma as well as it does not show up on the US although you can clearly see it and certainly feel it. Recently a lump in my neck area has been growing and becoming tender. I am starting to feel the pressure feeling in my throat like I had with my cancer. I got an US and they said it is an enlarged lymph node and it is quite large .9 x 4 x 6 mm. They said it looks benign to them. My thyroglobulin test was fine and does not indicate thyroid cancer reoccurance. Still, I am concerned about this lymph node. I am not well...i feel like something is dreadfully wrong but I cannot seem to get a diagnoses of anything concrete. I have been thorugh the ringer. I am tired and giving up. Is it possible to have a reoccurance but thyroglobulin looks fine? I also have nodules in my lungs that are small. They do not seem concerned about those either. I am just tired. :(

    Hello! I recently had a thyroid ultrasound done with no suspected nodules, but they found a 7mm x 4 x5 lymph node on the left side of my thyroid...would you recommend that being biopsied? I have Hashimotos and they arent able to distinguish any nodules from my thyroid tissue.

    • @Pezhman101
      @Pezhman101 4 місяці тому

      I would recommend you follow with a repeat ultrasound in about 3 to 4 months. Lymph nodes are not uncommon specially after infections or a viral illness. Lymph nodes are more suspicious, especially if there’s a history of thyroid cancer, which you do not have according to your description. Therefore follow-up repeat ultrasound in a few months would be recommended unless the ultrasound characteristics of the lymph node are suspicious, which I cannot tell based on the size.

      Radio frequency ablation can be a viable option if your tumor is 1 cm or less or larger as long are clear margins. One via late thyroid, tumors, specifically, papillary thyroid cancers we need to blade the margin of the tumor to ensure eradication. Therefore, the margin cannot be attached to vital structures. If it is close to a viable structure we will then use a technique called Hydro dissection to lift the tumor away from the structures temporarily while we ablate the margins.
