I'm dealing with thyroid issues and I've been drinking hot lemon and honey water in the mornings to help with weight loss. But now I'm really unsure if I should be taking my medication first thing instead. What would be the best order to do this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For thyroid patients, it is important to take medication on an empty stomach and wait at least 30 minutes before consuming any food or beverages. Therefore, it is recommended to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning with a glass of water, and then wait at least 30 minutes before drinking your hot lemon and honey water. This will ensure optimal absorption of the medication.

Can I take Dexona to gain weight? I'm curious about what the benefits and drawbacks might be. Could you explain what I should be aware of if I consider using it for weight gain?
Dexona (dexamethasone) is a steroid that can increase appetite and promote weight gain, but it also carries risks like fluid retention, high blood sugar, and weakened immunity. It's not typically recommended for weight gain without medical supervision, as it may cause more harm than benefit in the long term. Always consult a doctor before using it.

I'm a 34-year-old male, and I recently checked my random blood sugar level, which came out to be 153. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean for my health?
A random blood sugar level of 153 mgdL is considered elevated, but not necessarily indicative of diabetes; however, it's a red flag, especially for someone as young as 34, and warrants further evaluation, such as a fasting blood sugar test, HbA1c, or an oral glucose tolerance test, to determine if you're at risk for developing insulin resistance, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes
