Question 1

Im 42 years old, and my blood sugar level is 164. Lately, Ive been feeling a burning sensation in my feet and experiencing a lot of weakness. Could this be related to my blood sugar, and what should I do to manage these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Your blood sugar level of 164 indicates uncontrolled diabetes, which can lead to symptoms like burning feet and weakness. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend taking Metformin 500mg twice daily before meals to control your blood sugar levels. Additionally, you can take Vitamin B12 supplements to help with the burning sensation in your feet. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Based on the high TSH level and normal FT3 and FT4 levels, it is likely that your wife has subclinical hypothyroidism. The treatment for this condition typically involves taking Levothyroxine. The usual starting dose for Levothyroxine in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism is 25-50 mcg per day. It is important to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor thyroid function and adjust the dosage as needed.
