View allI'm trying to understand why my postprandial sugar levels are lower than my fasting levels. I've been monitoring my sugar, and it's concerning since my fasting sugar reads around 122-130 and my PP is usually between 102-110. A couple of years back, my PP was 180 and fasting was at 146 during a check-up. I made some lifestyle changes and managed to bring my weight down from 83 to 71 kg, cut out direct sugar, switched to millets from rice, and I'm eating more veggies and dal. My recent HBA1C is at 5.9, and it has been below 6.3 over the last two years. I also walk about 4 km five days a week. I'm not currently on any medication. Do you think medication might be necessary? Would love your guidance on this.
while postprandial (PP) levels are lower, which could be due to various factors, such as improved insulin sensitivity from weight loss and dietary changes, or potentially, an early sign of hypoglycemia unawareness; given your HbA1c levels have been consistently below 6.3, medication may not be immediately necessary, but your doctor may recommend more frequent blood glucose monitoring, adjustments to your diet or exercise routine, or further testing to rule out any underlying conditions.

My benign goiter in the left lobe of the thyroid was confirmed by FNAC in 2015. The recent USG from October 2017 shows it's grown to 3.6 cm by 2.4 cm compared to 1.8 cm by 2 cm in May 2015. Should I consider surgery now or is it okay to just monitor it with follow-ups every 6 months?
If your goiter has grown, surgery might be considered, especially if it’s affecting your breathing or swallowing. Regular follow-up every 6 months with an endocrinologist is advisable to monitor its progress.

I'm worried because my Vitamin D levels are really low, and my doctor prescribed me DRise 60000 IU. I'm not sure if I should take it with milk or water. The doctor didnt mention it. What's the best way to take this supplement?
Can take DRise 60000 IU with water. It is usually recommended to take Vitamin D supplements with water for better absorption. The usual dosage is once a week for 8 weeks, followed by once a month for maintenance.
