I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in March 2021 and was initially prescribed RemoV tablets twice a day, which have remogliflozin etabonate 100mg and vildagliptin 50mg. My recent hba1c is 6.8 and fasting sugar is 139. During my sinus surgery, the doctor advised me to stop RemoV and switch to Glyciphage 500mg (metformin only). Now, my current doctor is suggesting RemoMV, which combines remogliflozin, vildagliptin, and metformin. I'm confused about which one is better for me and why RemoMV is being recommended over the other options. Can you explain the difference and what would work best for my condition?

I'm a bit worried about my recent thyroid function test results. They did the tests on 04062016 and my T3 level came back as 1.09 ngml, which I know falls somewhere within the normal 0.72-2.02 ngml range. But here's where I get confused my T4 was 8.38 ugdl and TSH was 5.61 uIUml. I understand that T4 seems to be okay within the normal 4.3-12.5 ugdl range, but my TSH level is above the normal 0.4-4.2 uIUml range. Do you think I should start medication based on these results? I'm anxious about what this might mean for my health.

Is lemon good for hyperthyroidism?

Yes. Lemon blocks the antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone, hence normalizing an overactive thyroid.
