I'm really concerned about my mom's health. About a year ago, she had some breathing issues, so we went to the nearby hospital. The doctors ran a bunch of heart-related tests like an ECG and a 2D echo, but everything came back normal. Then they discovered she has hypothyroidism and prescribed some medication for that. They also recommended she take Prolomet XL 50 mg. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary for her to be on that medication too? Can we safely stop giving her the Prolomet XL?

I recently did a sugar test and my fasting level was 92, not sure if that's okay. After eating, it was 150. I have a family history of sugar problems, so should I be concerned about these numbers and think about seeing a doctor?
Based on your results, a fasting sugar of 92 mgdL is within the normal range, but a post-meal reading of 150 mgdL could indicate prediabetes or early signs of insulin resistance. Given your family history of diabetes, I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and to discuss preventive measures.
