Question 1

I am 28 years old. Over the past few months, I have been losing weight steadily, and my skin has become darker. I also have minor sinus issues but no major medical conditions. My parents both have diabetes, so I recently got tested, but my blood sugar levels were normal. I work in IT with a stressful night shift schedule. Please suggest how I can gain weight and maintain healthy skin. I have never had any skin allergies in the past.

Question 2

Hi Doctor, I have been dealing with a mild thyroid issue (TSH 5.0) for the past 8 months. Recently, I noticed dry skin, so I repeated the thyroid test, and now my TSH is 7.8. How concerning is this? Can it be managed through nutrition, meditation, and exercise, or should I consult a doctor as soon as possible? I would greatly appreciate your advice. Please refer to the attached screenshot of my test report.

Question 3

My father had a heart attack in April and underwent angioplasty, during which one stent was placed. At the time of discharge, his ejection fraction was 30 percent. After three months, his blood test results showed the following, TSH is 9.23, Iron is 52.9, Uric Acid is 9.09, HDL (Direct) is 37, Triglycerides is 204, VLDL is 40.8, Serum Albumin/Globulin Ratio is 2.12, and Serum Globulin is 2.19. The report also mentioned urobilinogen, but the value was not provided.

I was diagnosed with diabetes in December. Both my parents have diabetes. My recent blood test report shows FBS 226 and PPBS 289. My thyroid report shows T3 98.76, T4 4.53, and TSH ultra sensitive 9.0. What should I do?

Blood sugars are uncontrolled, TSH is elevated. You need insulin review and thyroid dose adjustment. Please repeat HbA1c and TSH test.
