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

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been losing a lot of my chest hair lately. I saw a dermatologist and he said its alopecia areata, so he put me on UV treatment for about 6 weeks, but it didnt help at all. Then I went to a homeopathic doctor, and after doing a thyroid test, my TSH was around 8. He gave me some meds, but still, nothings working. Can you tell me what's going on?
Since the UV treatment and homeopathic medicines did not show any improvement, it's important to address the underlying thyroid issue. Your TSH level of around 8 indicates hypothyroidism, which can contribute to hair loss. The medications prescribed by the homeopathic doctor may not have been effective, so I recommend consulting with a medical doctor or endocrinologist for proper management of your thyroid condition.

I'm confused about the normal range for fasting blood sugar levels. Is it supposed to be up to 100 mgdL or 110? Some lab reports mention 110, but I've seen online that it should be 100. Could you clarify this for me?
Ideally it must be lessthan 100mgdl for evaluation get HbA1c and visit Endocrinologist for appropriate management

I'm a bit worried because I recently had a routine health checkup, and my HSCRP levels were 13.5, which is higher than the normal range. I take Eltroxin 100 daily. Could you let me know what steps I should take or if there's anything specific I should be concerned about with these results?
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels can indicate inflammation in the body. Since your hsCRP level is elevated, it is important to address it. You can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help reduce inflammation and lower your hsCRP levels. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management can also be beneficial in lowering inflammation markers in the body.
