I'm concerned about my blood sugar levels. My fasting blood sugar is 155, and my postprandial is 167, but my HbA1c is 6.4. I'm currently taking Glycomate GP 1 gm daily, but it doesn't seem to be controlling my sugar levels effectively. Can you suggest any other medications or adjustments I should consider? Also, when would be the best time for me to take them?

View allWhats the best medication to help bring down high triglyceride levels if theyre over 800? I also have type 2 diabetes. What would you suggest I do?
For high triglycerides above 800 and type 2 diabetes, I recommend starting with a combination of Fenofibrate (Tricor) 145mg once daily and Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily. These medications are effective in lowering triglyceride levels and managing cholesterol in patients with diabetes. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise are also important in managing these conditions.

What does thyroid hair loss look like?
Hair loss may develop slowly with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. You won't necessarily notice patches missing or bald spots. Instead, your hair may seem thinner all over. You lose between 50 and 100 hairs from your head each day.

I've been dealing with a thyroid problem and have been taking Thyrox 125 mg, but recently I heard about this drug called Thyrogear, which some say might be better. I'm curious if transitioning to Thyrogear 125 mg could be beneficial for managing my thyroid issue. What do you think?
Thyrox 125 mg is a commonly prescribed medication for thyroid disorders. Thyrogear is also a thyroid medication that contains the same active ingredient as Thyrox, which is Levothyroxine. Both Thyrox and Thyrogear are effective in treating thyroid problems. If you are considering switching to Thyrogear 125 mg, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance on the dosage adjustment.
