  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 excessive sweating for the past couple of years, and it's to the point where it feels like I've just had a bath. I've had all the tests done and everything seems normal, but it's really bothering me. Is there something that could be causing this or something else I should be looking into? What could be going on here?

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be quite bothersome. Since your tests are normal, you may consider trying anticholinergic medications to help reduce sweating. One commonly prescribed medication is Glycopyrrolate, which can be taken orally in a dose of 1-2 mg twice daily. Another option is topical application of Aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution, which can be applied to the affected areas at night. It is important to follow up with your doctor to monitor the effectiveness and any potential side effects of these medications.
