I just checked my blood sugar level for the first time and it's at 120. I'm a bit concerned and wondering what steps I should take to keep it under control. Are there specific things I should do or eat to manage this? Would appreciate some guidance on how to proceed.

Question

I'm a bit confused about my vitamin D3 situation. My level is 28.06, and I've been taking Lumia 60k every week, but it's giving me some side effects. I spoke with another doctor, and they recommended taking Lumia 60k just once a month instead of weekly. Could you help clarify what's the best approach for me?

Question

I'm really concerned about my mother's thyroid test results and was hoping you could help me understand them. Her T3 reading is 2.79 ngml, T4 is 22.1 ugdl, and TSH is 0.015 uIUml. Does this mean there's something wrong with her thyroid? Also, we did a sugar test, and her fasting glucose level was 118, and post meal it was 175. Is this enough to diagnose diabetes? I'm worried and just want to make sure we're taking the right steps.
