I'm looking at my daughter's diagnostic report, and her TSH level is 8.7. From what I understand, it should be under 5.5. She's only 11 years old, so I'm just wondering if this is normal for her age or if there's something we need to address. Any advice on what steps we should take?

I've just found out that my TSH level is at 5.094, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal. What does this mean for my health? Is it something I should be worried about or get treated? Also, would making changes to my lifestyle or practicing yoga help in managing this?

I'm really worried about my mom's diabetes treatment. She used to be on Ryzodeg 20 units and Human Actrapid 8 units, but because Ryzodeg is so expensive, our doctor suggested we switch to Lantus with the same dosage. I'm not sure if this substitute and dosage are the right decision for her condition. Could you please advise on whether this is the right approach?
