Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, walking is good for diabetes. A healthy goal of brisk walking for at least 30 minutes for most of the days in a week is helpful in controlling the blood sugar levels.

I've got a 14 mm thyroid nodule in my right lobe that's grown by 2 mm over the last 1.5 years. A FNA in September 2014 showed it was an adenomatoid nodule with cystic degeneration and there was scant thick colloid in the smears. The FNAC in November 2014 showed suboptimal cellularity. I had a CT scan recently for my neck, and it came back completely normal. My thyroid tests from a few months ago were also normal. Should I consider getting another FNAC or is surgery the next step?

I'm a bit worried because my TSH level is 5.4. Is this considered high, low, or normal? If it's not normal, should I talk to a doctor about it?

I'm glad you clarified the correct information. _Monocytes 13% with Normal WBC Count_ 1. _Slightly elevated monocytes_: A monocyte percentage of 13% is slightly above the normal range (5-12%). 2. _Normal WBC count_: Your WBC count of 7,000 is within the normal range (4,500-11,000 cellsL). _Cancer Concerns_ 1. _No direct correlation_: Elevated monocytes don't directly indicate cancer. 2. _Many possible causes_: Slightly elevated monocytes can be caused by various factors, such as: - Infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal) - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) - Autoimmune disorders - Medication side effects _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your test results with your doctor to determine the cause of the slightly elevated monocytes. 2. _Further testing_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Monitor and follow-up_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your monocyte levels and overall health.
