A blood sugar level of 175 mg/dL is considered high, especially if measured when fasting. This suggests elevated blood glucose, potentially indicating prediabetes or diabetes. -

b. Prediabetes: 100-125 mg/dL.
c. Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests. -
Postprandial Levels
If the reading was post-meal, it is still above the normal range, which is below 140 mg/dL. -

I'm concerned about my vitamin D levels being low, and my doctor suggested I take UPRISE D3 60K once a week for the next 10 weeks. I was wondering if I can also take SevenSeas Cod Liver Oil capsules along with it? And if so, is it safe to take one capsule three times a day after meals?
Uprise D3 60k once a week is good. You can take cod liver oil along with that no problems but not three times a day. Only once a day after food is enough. Also you need to drink one glass of milk every night before bed.

What happens if I miss my thyroid medication one day?
Levothyroxine has longer half-life, so a person would not have much effects if you miss one dose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
