I recently did a sugar test and my fasting level was 92, not sure if that's okay. After eating, it was 150. I have a family history of sugar problems, so should I be concerned about these numbers and think about seeing a doctor?

Based on your results, a fasting sugar of 92 mgdL is within the normal range, but a post-meal reading of 150 mgdL could indicate prediabetes or early signs of insulin resistance. Given your family history of diabetes, I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and to discuss preventive measures.

I really need some advice on adjusting thyroid medication. Six months ago, the TSH level dropped from 8 to 6.75, so I thought it would be okay to lower the dosage from 25mcg to 12.5mcg. But now the TSH has gone up to 10.87, and I'm worried. What do you recommend for someone who's 51 years old in this situation? I'm trying to find the right balance here.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
