Does peanut butter lower your blood sugar?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Peanut is low glycemic index if it does not contain added sugar or fat. It is high in calories, hence should be taken in moderation.

View allI'm diabetic and have been for about 45 months. My latest HBA1C reading came back as 5.6, and I'm trying to understand what that really means. Also, I noticed my mean blood glucose level is 122 mgdL. Could you explain if that's considered normal or not? I'm a bit concerned and would love some clarity.
normal hba1c is 5.6 and if your fasting is 122mgdl then it comes under pre diabetic range

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.

I'm 40 years old and I did a blood sugar test last week. My fasting was 124 and my postprandial (pp) was 97. I'm trying to understand why my fasting level is high since I'm not on any diabetes medication. I ran for 40 minutes just before doing this check for my fasting sugar, and I was sweating by the time I reached the lab. Could this have affected my sugar reading?
