I'm diabetic and have been for about 45 months. My latest HBA1C reading came back as 5.6, and I'm trying to understand what that really means. Also, I noticed my mean blood glucose level is 122 mgdL. Could you explain if that's considered normal or not? I'm a bit concerned and would love some clarity.

normal hba1c is 5.6 and if your fasting is 122mgdl then it comes under pre diabetic range

I've been managing my diabetes and lately, I've noticed that my fasting glucose levels are at 111. My recent tests also showed SGOT at 45 and SGPT at 55. Can I take Liv52 to help with this, or is there something else you would recommend? I'm a bit concerned about these numbers and would really appreciate some advice.
Yes diabetic person can take liv 52 Another study found that Liv.52 DS significantly decreased liver enzymes like SGOT, SGPT, serum alkaline phosphatase, and serum bilirubin.

My mom's been dealing with low bone density and has a high risk of fractures due to osteoporosis. We've talked to two doctors; one mentioned trying Forteo and the other suggested Terifrac. I'm trying to figure out if there's any difference between these two injections, and which one might be the better choice. She's been on Terifrac for six months now, and I'm wondering if we should stick with it or switch to Forteo. Any advice?
