I'm in my 30s and my blood glucose levels are a bit higher than normal. I've heard about BGR 34 from a few friends who said it's government approved in India and completely ayurvedic. I'm really curious if it's true and if it's a good option for managing my diabetes. Can you give me some advice on this?

I'm dealing with thyroid issues and I've been drinking hot lemon and honey water in the mornings to help with weight loss. But now I'm really unsure if I should be taking my medication first thing instead. What would be the best order to do this?

Accepted Answer

For thyroid patients, it is important to take medication on an empty stomach and wait at least 30 minutes before consuming any food or beverages. Therefore, it is recommended to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning with a glass of water, and then wait at least 30 minutes before drinking your hot lemon and honey water. This will ensure optimal absorption of the medication.

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.
