Can you help me understand my post-radioiodine whole body scan results after surgery for papillary carcinoma I'm a bit worried about what the findings might mean
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A post-radioiodine (RAI) whole body scan is used after surgery for papillary thyroid cancer to assess for any remaining thyroid tissue or cancer cells that may not be completely removed during surgery. The scan uses a small dose of radioactive iodine to detect these cells, and the results help determine the need for further RAI treatment

I'm 53 with diabetes and high BP, currently taking jalra dianorm m 1000 and metformin for sugar, plus apresol and beta nicardia for BP. My sugar levels stay fine when I skip BP meds, but spike badly when I take them. Why does this happen and how can I manage both conditions since I need cataract surgery soon?
Patient is advised to continue BP and sugar medications through out his lifetime,Also during his cataract surgery his BP and diabetes are to be controlled then only patient can be taken for the surgery.

I'm 40 and my fasting sugar levels are usually around 110. I'm really committed to both intense cardio and strength workouts, and I'm sticking to a low-carb and low-fat diet. I'm really hoping to get my fasting sugar down into the 90s. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could do to achieve that?
Maintain healthy life style and get yourself checked regularly for any underlying disease and appropriate management.
