Question 5

I'm 42 and my blood sugar is at 164. My feet have this burning sensation, and I've been feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and what can I do to feel better?

Accepted Answer

Your blood sugar level of 164 indicates uncontrolled diabetes, which can lead to symptoms like burning feet and weakness. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend taking Metformin 500mg twice daily before meals to control your blood sugar levels. Additionally, you can take Vitamin B12 supplements to help with the burning sensation in your feet. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I'm pregnant and just found out my TSH level is 3.59. My gynecologist recommended starting thyroid medication, and I'm not sure if that's normal for this TSH level. Should I be worried or is this standard practice?

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.
