  1. Blood Sugar Level Interpretation:

    • A blood sugar level of 150 mg/dL is higher than the normal fasting range.
    • Normal fasting levels are below 100 mg/dL; 100-125 mg/dL indicates prediabetes.
  2. Postprandial Consideration:

    • If the reading was post-meal, it might be less concerning but still requires attention.
    • Post-meal levels are typically under 140 mg/dL.
  3. Next Steps:

    • Discuss this result with your healthcare provider for evaluation.
    • Consider further testing if necessary.
  4. Symptoms to Watch:

    • Increased thirst, frequent urination, or unexplained weight loss should prompt medical advice.
  5. Lifestyle Recommendations:

    • Maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise for blood sugar control.

I've been dealing with hypothyroidism for about two years now, and my TSH level is currently 17. I'm really concerned and wondering how I can get it back to a normal range. I'm taking 100mg of Electrocin every day. Could you give me some advice on what else I might be able to do?

With a TSH level of 17, your hypothyroidism treatment needs adjustment. Here's a step-by-step plan: *Medication Adjustment* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Inform your doctor about your current TSH level and medication (100mg Electrocin). 2. *Dose increase*: Your doctor may increase your levothyroxine (T4) dosage to achieve normal TSH levels. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Diet*: Ensure adequate iodine intake through foods like seafood, dairy, and iodized salt. 2. *Selenium-rich foods*: Include selenium-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and fish to support thyroid function. 3. *Regular exercise*: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, to improve overall health. 4. *Stress management*: Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Regular TSH tests*: Schedule follow-up TSH tests every 6-8 weeks to monitor treatment progress. 2. *Adjust medication as needed*: Work with your doctor to adjust your medication dosage based on TSH test
