I was just diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, but I don't have high blood sugar, high blood pressure, or diabetes. What other potential causes could there be for my condition?

I have noticed a strong fishy vaginal odor over the past week with no discharge or other symptoms. Could it be a yeast infection, and what else might cause this?

I had a cold recently and on day 3 I experienced a weird feeling on the left side where it feels like a vein is going to pop, moving from side to side, and then I felt my left nostril clog. What could this be and what medications can help?

I have pain between T12-T13, which is painful to the touch and requires frequent back stretches to maintain mobility. The pain subsides temporarily with a 'pop' during stretches. Palpating the area reveals a small abnormality that seems to be the source of the pain. I am a martial artist with 20+ years of experience and high flexibility throughout my body. The pain to the touch was first noticed 6 months ago. What could be the cause of this pain?

I am an 82-year-old diabetic with well-controlled blood sugar for 15 years using metformin and glimepiride. However, my blood sugar levels have recently started to climb, and despite increasing the dosage and maintaining a strict diet, my morning readings are consistently high, ranging from 190s to 210. My doctor has run tests and found no issues, but I am reluctant to start insulin. Is there any other medication that could help lower my blood sugar before resorting to insulin?
