I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes but haven't been taking medications. I recently lost 29 pounds and changed my diet. My blood sugar is still around 241 two hours after eating, and I've developed a mild rash of red spots. I feel good but am scared to see a doctor. What can I do for the red spots and what should I do about my diabetes?

I think I might have bipolar disorder and was wondering if I had to get a prescription to get medication for it.

How often is irrigation of my 24-hour catheter recommended, given my medical history of prostate cancer, permanent A Fib, and a pig valve in my heart, and the fact that the catheter was inserted due to a swollen prostate blocking urination?

I have been experiencing numbness in my toes and occasional tingling for about a year. My nurse practitioner says I have PAD, but my doctor says I don't. I have back pain and spinal stenosis, but I was undergoing therapy until the pandemic. What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I have suffered from diarrhea since 2004, often causing embarrassment in public. I had a Barium Meal test in 2005 with no detection. I've taken Immodium and Loperan, and also have Asthma and high blood pressure. For the last two years, I've had hip problems and have started a food supplement. I stopped taking Loperan and had a couple of bowel accidents since. My husband and I travel to see family 2-3 times a year. Can you advise on which medications are necessary and any advice on future treatment/consultations?
