I'm really worried about my sugar levels. I just checked and before fasting, it was 237, and after fasting, it went up to 337. That sounds dangerous, right? I'm currently taking VOLIX M 0.3 MG. Could you advise on what steps I should take next?

I was born with gender dysphoria and feel a lot of internal distress about it. I'm considering male-to-female surgery but I'm not sure what hormone medications I need to take before the procedure. Can you explain what's usually prescribed and how they work?
Pre-operative hormone therapy for gender affirmation (M‚ÜíF) includes estrogen and anti-androgens (e.g., spironolactone).Consult trans-health endocrinologist to start.
