Question 2

What's the normal fasting blood sugar level? I recently had some tests done, and my HbA1c came back as 5.2, with a fasting blood sugar of 104 and a mean plasma glucose of 102.5. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about anything?

Accepted Answer

A fasting blood sugar level of 104 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range. The normal range for fasting blood sugar is typically considered to be less than 100 mg/dL. Since your HB1AC is 5.2, which is within the normal range, and your mean plasma glucose is 102.5 mg/dL, it is recommended to monitor your blood sugar levels closely. You may consider making lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity and following a healthy diet. In some cases, medication such as Metformin may be prescribed to help manage blood sugar levels.

Question 6

My TSH level is 3.59, and I just found out Im pregnant. My gynecologist has suggested I start thyroid medication. I just wanted to check if its normal for doctors to prescribe thyroid tablets with this TSH level.

Accepted Answer

In pregnancy, it is recommended to maintain TSH levels below 2.5 for the health of both the mother and the baby. Since your TSH level is slightly elevated at 3.59, your gynecologist's recommendation to start thyroid medication is appropriate. The medication commonly prescribed for hypothyroidism during pregnancy is Levothyroxine. The typical starting dose for hypothyroidism in pregnancy is around 50-100 mcg per day, but the exact dosage will depend on your individual health situation. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and regularly monitor your TSH levels throughout your pregnancy.
