DEAR HARRIETTE: A good friend of mine is a filmmaker. He recently hosted a private screening of his upcoming film and strongly encouraged me to bring my children, both of whom are under the age of 13. However, to my surprise, the film turned out to be sexually graphic and highly inappropriate for their age group. I was appalled and disappointed. At one point, I decided to take my kids and leave the screening early. I've been upset with my friend ever since. What should I do? — Inappropriate DEAR INAPPROPRIATE: Follow up with your friend and admonish him for his recklessness. Ask him why he thought the film would be suitable for your children. Remind him that ratings exist to indicate who should watch a film and to protect those who may be too young to be able to process particular information. Point out the specifics of what you thought was inappropriate for your children — or any children — to see. You have every right to be upset. Your friend clearly was not thinking about the impact his film would have on minors.
Dear Doctors: My wife and I have been seeing stories on the news about something called prediabetes metabolism. Apparently, some people have it but aren't aware of it. We have never heard of this term before. What does it mean? Is there a test for prediabetes metabolism?

DEAR HARRIETTE: My sister has been using Ozempic for weight loss despite not being diabetic. The misuse of the drug has resulted in a national shortage, which has caused serious implications for me as a Type 2 diabetic who needs it to manage my blood sugar levels. It's uncomfortable knowing that my own sister is playing a role in preventing people like me from accessing such vital medication. How do I tell her how hurtful her actions are without upsetting her or causing a fight? — You Don't Need It DEAR YOU DON'T NEED IT:
