I'm trying to understand more about the HbA1c test. Do I have to provide blood samples twice for this test, like a fasting one and another one randomly? Could you explain how this works? I'm a bit confused.

I'm really worried about my thyroid test results. My TSH is at 2.5 and T3 is at 1.5, but my T4 level is pretty high at 17.2. Does this mean there might be a problem with conceiving?

I understand your concern for your mother's recurring mouth ulcers. Considering her condition, it's essential to consult a specialist, such as an oral pathologist or an oral medicine expert. Possible underlying causes: - Autoimmune disorders (e.g., lichen planus) - Nutritional deficiencies (e.g., vitamin B12) - Chronic stress - Hormonal imbalances Advanced treatments: - Biopsy to determine the underlying cause - Immunosuppressive medications - Laser therapy - Natural remedies like aloe vera, turmeric, or coconut oil Don't lose hope; a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan can help manage her condition.
