View allI'm a bit confused and a little worried about my blood sugar levels. My fasting blood sugar is 122, and my postprandial is 95. I always thought the postprandial level should be higher than the fasting one. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what treatment options would be best for me? Does this mean I'm diabetic or not? I would really appreciate some guidance on this.

I just found out from a test that my sugar level is 275, and I'm kind of worried. I have an appointment with my doctor in a week, but I'm unsure what to do until then. Should I see a doctor right away? Are there any precautions I should be taking in the meantime?
If its the first time your sugar has come high, retest. Better get fasting and post lunch done. If the values are high you can go for online consultation here and start meds.

I have a multinodular goiter and my recent scans and FNAC show it's benign but I'm confused about whether I should get surgery now or wait until I have symptoms Some doctors recommend removing it while others say to just monitor it with regular scans Do I really need to do an FNAC every 6 months or can I space it out longer like every few years since it's benign
yes advised.
