There's no particular timeline that stands true for all patients, it depends on many factors such as age of diabetes onset, control of blood sugars, lifestyle and regular check ups.

View allI was diagnosed with thyroid issues back in 2008, and my TSH level was 5.2. Initially, I was on 75 mcg of thyronorm for a year, and then my TSH level dropped to 3.1, so my doctor changed my dose to 50 mcg. I've been taking that ever since. I recently got my TSH checked again, and it's now 2.39. My doctor suggested I stick with the same dosage. Is that alright? I'm feeling tired all the time, and I'm wondering if it's the dosage or something else entirely. Can you give me some advice?
Since your TSH level is currently 2.39, which is within the normal range, it indicates that your current dosage of 50mcg of thyronorm is appropriate for you. However, feeling tired all the time could be due to various reasons, including thyroid issues or other health conditions. Considering your symptoms of persistent tiredness, it would be advisable to discuss this with your doctor. They may want to evaluate other factors such as your T3 and T4 levels, as well as assess for any other underlying causes of fatigue. Additionally, they may consider adjusting your medication dosage or investigating other potential reasons for your fatigue. In the meantime, make sure you are maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because we're trying to have a baby and just found out my partner's TSH levels are at 10.34. She's not on any medication yet since we just diagnosed it now. Should we focus on getting the TSH levels under control before trying to conceive, or is it safe to plan for a baby right now? Any advice on what we can do in the meantime to help manage it?
Zincovit is a multivitamin supplement containing zinc, vitamins, and minerals. _Taking Two Zincovit Tablets Per Day_ 1. _Generally safe_: Taking two Zincovit tablets per day is generally considered safe, but it's essential to follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor. 2. _Zinc toxicity risk_: Excessive zinc consumption (>150 mgday) can lead to zinc toxicity.

Consult your doctor if you're taking any medications. _Best Time to Take Zincovit_ 1. _With meals_: Take Zincovit with meals to enhance absorption and minimize stomach upset. 2. _Morning or evening_: You can take Zincovit at any time of day, but taking it in the morning may help boost energy levels throughout the day.
