Does peanut butter lower blood sugar?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Peanuts can help control blood sugar in both healthy individuals and those with type 2 diabetes. Peanuts and peanut butter have even been shown to help lessen the spike in blood sugar when paired with high-carbohydrate or high-GL foods.

I'm really worried about my wife's thyroid levels. Her TSH is 12.12, T3 is 103, and T4 is 5.6. She's been having these mood swings, dry skin, constipation, headaches, and her voice sounds kind of child-like. She's 30. What kind of medication might help with this?
Your wifes thyroid levels suggest hypothyroidism, as indicated by the elevated TSH. She may need thyroid hormone replacement therapy, typically Levothyroxine, to regulate her thyroid function. It's best to consult her doctor for a precise dosage based on her specific needs and symptoms.
