I suddenly developed pain in my lower back, buttocks, pelvic area, and thigh joint. I consulted a physician, who prescribed medications for pain and suggested physiotherapy with IFT, which I did for 7 days. The pain gradually decreased and is now localized to one spot in the lower back. I am currently doing back supporting exercises. However, I was recently found to have high blood sugar, with HbA1c of 11.1. Could this high blood sugar be related to my back pain, or will it improve on its own? What special care should I take to manage this condition? Please advise.

Sudden lower back and pelvic pain can have many causes but is not directly due to high blood sugar. An HbA1c of 11.1 indicates uncontrolled diabetes that needs urgent attention to prevent complications. Back pain may take time to improve with physiotherapy and exercises. Start diabetes management immediately with diet, exercise, and medication as advised by your doctor. Monitor blood sugar regularly and repeat HbA1c after 3 months to track improvement

I 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.

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.
