I was diagnosed with diabetes in December. Both my parents have diabetes. My recent blood test report shows FBS 226 and PPBS 289. My thyroid report shows T3 98.76, T4 4.53, and TSH ultra sensitive 9.0. What should I do?

Blood sugars are uncontrolled, TSH is elevated. You need insulin review and thyroid dose adjustment. Please repeat HbA1c and TSH test.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

Hi Sir, We recently did a thyroid test for my wife, who gave birth 5 months ago. The results are: T3: 2.96, T4: 0.54, TSH: 62. Is this normal after delivery, or should we start treatment? If treatment is started, will her thyroid levels come down to normal?

Hi, I have noticed bald patches on my beard and scalp. I consulted a doctor, and they advised me to do blood tests for Fasting Glucose, TSH, and Serum Anti TPO. I have done the tests, and the results are, Fasting Glucose is 93, TSH is 6.039, and Anti TPO is greater than 1300. After getting the report, I did not get a chance to consult the doctor again. I searched on the Internet and found that it may be related to thyroid problems.
