Question

I just found out from a test that my sugar level is 275, and I'm kind of worried. I have an appointment with my doctor in a week, but I'm unsure what to do until then. Should I see a doctor right away? Are there any precautions I should be taking in the meantime?

If its the first time your sugar has come high, retest. Better get fasting and post lunch done. If the values are high you can go for online consultation here and start meds.

Question

I'm a 28-year-old woman working a desk job, and I've noticed my TSH level is at 8.67, even though my T3 and T4 are normal. I usually keep a pretty healthy lifestyleI'm vegetarian and consume a lot of milk-based products, plus I swim four days a week. Im 5 feet tall and weigh 50kgs. Recently, though, I've been off track with my diet, eating whatever whenever. I've had high TSH before but managed to lower it through lifestyle changes. Do you think adding a multivitamin could help if I focus on fixing my diet and sticking to regular exercise? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Question

I'm a bit confused about some medical stuff. So, in the context of a COVID test, what exactly does the target gene CT value mean? Like, if someone has a CT value of 17.5, is that considered low or high? Also, if a person has thyroid issues, do the medicines change if they get COVID?
