    GlossaryImpaired Glucose Tolerance

    condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal

    Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. It indicates a risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. IGT is often detected through an oral glucose tolerance test, where blood sugar levels are measured before and after consuming a glucose-rich drink.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 8 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Finasteride can affect sperm quality, but fertility usually returns after stopping it, as shown by a user who conceived four months after discontinuation. Some users successfully conceive while on finasteride, though some prefer to pause its use to minimize risks.
