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.

normal hba1c is 5.6 and if your fasting is 122mgdl then it comes under pre diabetic range

I recently got my TSH test results back, and it came out as 0.02. I'm kind of worried about it. Could you guide me on what steps I should take next and explain what this might mean for my thyroid health?
Hi, a TSH level of 0.02 is very low and suggests hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. I recommend consulting your doctor or an endocrinologist for further evaluation, including free T3, T4, and antibody tests, to identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
