I'm diabetic and have been for about 45 months. My latest HBA1C reading came back as 5.6, and I'm trying to understand what that really means. Also, I noticed my mean blood glucose level is 122 mgdL. Could you explain if that's considered normal or not? I'm a bit concerned and would love some clarity.

Can you help me understand my post-radioiodine whole body scan results after surgery for papillary carcinoma I'm a bit worried about what the findings might mean

A post-radioiodine (RAI) whole body scan is used after surgery for papillary thyroid cancer to assess for any remaining thyroid tissue or cancer cells that may not be completely removed during surgery. The scan uses a small dose of radioactive iodine to detect these cells, and the results help determine the need for further RAI treatment
