I'm a 51-year-old with a weight of 62 kg, and I've been on 88 mcg of medication a day for hypothyroidism for the past 6 months. I just got my thyroid profile results, and they show my T3 is 0.98, T4 is 7.93, and TSH is 12.58. What should I do now?

-It seems your TSH level is still higher than the normal range, indicating that your thyroid may not be fully optimized with the current dosage of 88 mcg. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication or exploring other treatment

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?

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.

I'm a 34-year-old male, and I recently checked my random blood sugar level, which came out to be 153. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean for my health?

A random blood sugar level of 153 mgdL is considered elevated, but not necessarily indicative of diabetes; however, it's a red flag, especially for someone as young as 34, and warrants further evaluation, such as a fasting blood sugar test, HbA1c, or an oral glucose tolerance test, to determine if you're at risk for developing insulin resistance, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes
