Question 1

I'm a bit confused about my blood glucose levels. My fasting sugar came out higher than my reading two hours after eating. It was 155 fasting and 139 after a meal. At one point, my fasting level was 200, and a few days later, it dropped to 155. Why would my fasting sugar be higher than after a meal? Is this something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon for blood glucose levels to be higher in the morning (fasting) compared to after a meal. This is due to the dawn phenomenon, where hormones released in the early morning hours cause blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, if you had a high-carbohydrate meal the night before, it can also contribute to higher fasting blood sugar levels. To help manage your blood sugar levels, you can consider taking Metformin. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm a 51-year-old with a weight of 62 kg, and I've been on 88 mcg of medication a day for hypothyroidism for the past 6 months. I just got my thyroid profile results, and they show my T3 is 0.98, T4 is 7.93, and TSH is 12.58. What should I do now?

Accepted Answer

-It seems your TSH level is still higher than the normal range, indicating that your thyroid may not be fully optimized with the current dosage of 88 mcg. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication or exploring other treatment

Question 4

I'm currently managing my diabetes with medication, but I'm curious about IME9. Is it okay to take IME9 once or twice a day along with my current meds? Any advice on how to incorporate it into my routine would be really helpful.

.. It would been easier if you posted your current blood glucose level, Life style modifications are the main treatment for the Diabetes.... Consider dietary changes. Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets may increase insulin levels, so you may want to consider a low-carbohydrate diet . High-fiber carbohydrates include whole-grain breads and cereals, whole-wheat pasta, bulgur wheat, barley, brown rice, and beans. Exercise helps a lot. Consult your doctor before going for alternate medicine

Question 5

I'm just a bit concerned about my vitamin D levels. I checked them last month and they were really low. I'm curious, can I improve my vitamin D levels if I get some sunlight in the evening? Or is it only effective in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Elevated SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) Levels

_Interpretation_

1. _Mild elevation_: Your SGOT (53) and SGPT (67) levels are mildly elevated.
2. _Possible causes_: Elevated liver enzymes can be caused by various factors, including:
    - Fatty liver disease
    - Viral hepatitis (A, B, C, or E)
    - Medication side effects
    - Muscle damage or exercise
    - Other medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, celiac disease)

_Next Steps_

1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your elevated liver enzymes.
2. _Additional tests_: Your doctor may order further tests, such as:
    - Liver function tests (LFTs) to monitor enzyme levels
    - Hepatitis A, B, and C screenings
    - Ultrasound or other imaging tests to evaluate liver health
    - Blood tests to rule out other medical conditions
3. _Lifestyle modifications_: Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including:
    - A balanced diet
    - Regular exercise
    - Adequate sleep
    - Stress management

_Reassurance_

1. _Hepatitis and cirrhosis are unlikely_: Given your age, lifestyle, and absence of symptoms, hepatitis and cirrhosis are less likely.
2. _Further evaluation is necessary_: A thorough medical evaluation will help determine the cause of your elevated liver enzymes.
