I am not overweight. I am 22 years old, I'm 5'1 and I weigh about 48-50 kg.

I also have a thyroid problem and been using thyronorm 75 mcg for 5 years. I recently got my sugar test and the following are the results : Glucose (Fasting) 77 mg/dl Post Prandial blood sugar 116 mg/dl What all tests should I go through in order to rectify the possible underlying problem?
