I recently had my HbA1c tested, and the report indicates that I am in the borderline diabetes range. I believe stress may be a contributing factor. I am really concerned and need guidance on dietary changes to help manage this and regain my fitness. I also have hypothyroidism for 11 years and take Thyronorm 75 mg regularly. Please advise on the best approach to manage both my blood sugar and thyroid health.

HbA1c borderline needs diet changes. Reduce carbs, sugar, processed food. Exercise 30 mins/day. Maintain TSH less than 3. Consider seeing a dietician.
Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...
Take a Lipid Profile Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

View allI have had three pregnancy losses, the first and second pregnancies ended at 6 weeks, and the third ended at 10 weeks due to cardiac failure. My doctor advised both my husband and me to undergo peripheral blood karyotyping to check for any chromosomal abnormalities. I have attached both of our karyotyping reports. Could you please review them and let me know if the results are normal? Additionally, I would really appreciate your guidance on how to plan for a healthy pregnancy in the future.

Respected doctors, my dad took a blood sugar test on 25th July in the afternoon after having lunch. It showed his blood sugar level as 289. To confirm, we took the blood test the next day, 26th July, which showed a completely different sugar level of 125 fasting and 153 after breakfast. After seeing both reports, the diabetologist advised my dad to exercise and walk more. Which sugar level is accurate? The first one taken after lunch or the second report taken in the morning, fasting and after food? Currently, he has not been prescribed any medicines and is taking the morning reading as the accurate one.
