I'm a bit concerned about my fasting blood sugar level, which was 104 this morning. Is that considered normal, or is it something I should be worried about and seek treatment for?

View allI've had uneven breast size since I was young and it's really bothering me. Who should I talk to about this if I don't want surgery? What could be causing this and are there any non-surgical options to help balance them out?
Patching can help in early intermittent exotropia, especially in young children; surgery is reserved if patching fails to improve eye alignment.

Whats the ideal vitamin D range for women? I got my vitamin D levels checked today and theyre at 44. Based on this, should I be considering any supplements? Also, I sometimes take Shelcal HD on and off.
The normal vitamin D range for women is typically between 30 to 50 ngmL. Since your vitamin D level is 44 ngmL, it falls within the normal range. However, if you have symptoms of vitamin D deficiency or if your doctor recommends it, you can consider taking supplements. Shelcal HD is a good calcium supplement, but for vitamin D supplementation, you can consider taking "D-rise" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks followed by "Uprise D3" 60,000 IU once a month. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice regarding supplementation.

I'm really concerned about my wife's recent thyroid test results. Her T3 is 83, T4 is 3.8, and TSH is 57.57. What are the treatment options for a high TSH level like this?
The lab results indicate that your wife's Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level is elevated, suggesting hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Here are the common treatments for high TSH levels: *Medications* 1. *Levothyroxine (T4)*: Synthetic T4 hormone replacement medication, such as Synthroid, Levoxyl, or Tirosint. 2. *Liothyronine (T3)*: Synthetic T3 hormone replacement medication, often used in combination with T4. *Treatment Goals* 1. *Normalize TSH levels*: Aim for a TSH level between 0.5 and 5.0 UmL. 2. *Relieve symptoms*: Improve energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. 3. *Prevent long-term complications*: Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and other hypothyroidism-related complications. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Dietary modifications*: Ensure adequate iodine intake through foods like seafood, dairy, and iodized salt. 2. *Regular exercise*: Encourage regular physical activity to improve overall health and well-being. 3. *Stress management*: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. *Follow-up* 1. *Regular blood tests*: Monitor TSH, T4, and T3 levels every 6-8 weeks to adjust medication dosages as needed. 2. *Adjust medication*: Work with your doctor to find the optimal medication dosage and combination to achieve normal TSH levels.
