I am a 36-year-old male with a history of elevated A1C levels, now on metformin 1000mg daily. I have concerns about potential kidney damage from undiagnosed diabetes over the past 4 years. What are the chances of kidney damage, how long does it usually take for diabetes to affect kidneys, and what signs should I look for?

I feel dizzy in the morning and sick at night, and I'm also tired all day. I've been experiencing this for about a week or two. I've noticed a slight reduction in my sleep duration and increased stress levels, but no other symptoms. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been experiencing a persistent cough for 8 days, along with nasal congestion and occasional sneezing. The cough is worse at night and sometimes produces small amounts of white or greenish mucus. I'm worried about this lasting so long and if it could be something serious. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms and should I be concerned about my health?

My ear hurts and is warm to the touch. I think I have an ear infection. The pain started yesterday and is sharp, coming and going. I am 61 years old, not on any medications, and allergic to sulfa. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?
