View allI'm really worried because my blood sugar is higher than it's ever been. I'm already on BP meds and I'm overweight. Should I think about starting medication for my sugar levels now? Is it even possible to get my levels back to normal at this point?
It's most likely diabetes and you should start medicines for the same. Better to confirm the sugar levels once again before starting medicines.

I'm really concerned about my journey trying to conceive - it's been 23 months of trying, and I'm getting worried. My periods are regular, and all my blood tests, like TSH and prolactin, have come back normal. The only thing is my blood sugar is in the pre-diabetic range. Now I've found out about this myometrial cyst, and I'm wondering if it could be affecting my ability to conceive. Could this be a reason for the delay, and what should I do about it?
A myometrial cyst is a benign fluid-filled cyst in the muscle layer of the uterus, usually not related to fertility issues. Since your periods are regular and other tests are normal, it's a good sign, but pre-diabetes can affect fertility. It's a good idea to manage your blood sugar levels for better chances of conception.
