About two months ago, I missed my menopause, so I started taking some medication, and it seems to have worked this month. A blood test I did a month ago showed my TSH was 5.7, and now it's increased. Why might this be happening and what can I do to manage or possibly eliminate this issue completely?

Hey, my blood sugar level is at 142, and I'm a bit concerned about it. Should I be worried? Could you give me some guidance on what steps I should take next?

Your current readings are slightly higher than normal but not alarmingly high. However, its important to monitor your blood sugar over time, especially after consuming foods high in refined sugars. If these numbers become more consistent, it's worth discussing with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like insulin resistance or pre-diabetes.
