Hair loss may develop slowly with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. You won't necessarily notice patches missing or bald spots. Instead, your hair may seem thinner all over. You lose between 50 and 100 hairs from your head each day.

I'm worried about my sugar levels. I checked them yesterday at the lab, and it was 220 mgdl before fasting and 280 mgdl after fasting. I'm diabetic, and I'm not sure what to do next or how to bring my sugar levels down. Could you suggest some treatments or actions I should consider?

no need to worry follow your doctors advice

I've been on thyroid medication for about 10-12 years now, taking 50mg. I'm considering switching to ayurvedic treatment instead. Is that a safe switch to make? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Please continue on thyroxine tablets. It is better.
