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 taking Thyronorm 75 mg for my thyroid, but my recent thyroid blood test showed my T3 at 86 ngdl, T4 at 6 ngdl, and TSH at 10.65 nIUml. With my TSH levels being high, I'm wondering if I need to switch my medication to 100 mg instead of the 75 mg I've been taking? Also, I'm quite lean and I'm curious if that's because of my thyroid issueshow can I put on some weight?
