Teneligliptin is generally well-tolerated, but as a heart patient, monitor for:1. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)2. Increased risk of heart failure3. Acute kidney injuryInteractions with Vitamin D supplements are unlikely. However, Vitamin D deficiency correction may improve insulin sensitivity, helping with diabetes control.To achieve better control, consider:1. Regular monitoring of blood glucose and HbA1c2.

Question 5

Why is my fasting blood sugar higher than my post-meal level? My fasting glucose was 155, and two hours after a meal, it was 139. Ive done the test twiceone day my fasting was 200, and then four days later, it came down to 155. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon for blood glucose levels to be higher in the morning (fasting) compared to after a meal. This is due to the dawn phenomenon, where hormones released in the early morning hours cause blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, if you had a high-carbohydrate meal the night before, it can also contribute to higher fasting blood sugar levels. To help manage your blood sugar levels, you can consider taking Metformin. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Question 6

My TSH level is 11.4, is that normal or should I be worried? Can you please guide me on how much medication I should take and what kind of diet plan would be suitable for me?

Accepted Answer

A TSH level of 11.4 is higher than the normal range (0.4-4.5), indicating hypothyroidism; consult your endocrinologist or healthcare provider for personalized guidance, but typically, levothyroxine (T4) medication is prescribed, starting with a low dose (25-50 mcg) and adjusting as needed; a general diet plan for hypothyroidism includes: iodine-rich foods (dairy, seafood), selenium-rich foods (Brazil nuts, fish), zinc-rich foods (oysters, beef), and avoiding soy, gluten, and cruciferous vegetables, which can interfere with thyroid function.
